I was responding to Bill's comment regarding abandoning the 6xxx series and moving straight onto RDNA 3. They are not selling any 6xxx at retailers it's basically vapourware. From probably the biggest online retailer in the UK.
"Currently supply is extremely tight on all of the RX 6000 series GPU's. As shipments arrive we will list available stock for sale on the website. At this time we will not be taking pre-orders for cards as we are unable to give any estimates on wait times."
I think she has done a tremendous job at AMD especially with the CPU's. But she hasn't delivered with the 6xxx series and I'm sure she doesn't want that as her epitaph at AMD. So where is Frank Azore suddenly? No one at AMD is telling us anything which is strange. Something is not right?
Lets not make this about AMD and keep it on Lovelace. Shall we?
So why do Nvidia need Lovelace now? The 3080 stomps on 6900XT in 4K not to mention the 3090. Fancy Ray Tracing? The 3070 stomps on the 6900XT. Nvidia have got nothing to fear from AMD so that's why they signed a contract with Samsung for lower tier Ampere cards because AMD don't really have very much ATM to push back with. Care to discuss?
Why is a guy with 78 pny cards proof that Nvidia is selling cards directly to miners?
Wouldn't that be proof that PNY/AIBS might be doing it?
Your obsession with AMD has a tendency to crud up threads. And you don't even attempt to lace the bait.
Why release Lovelace? Because they have $1500 SIMPS lined up for one.
Sorry just a joke. On a more serious note, RDNA is earnest competition. RDNA 2 took things to a whole new level, and they are generally better performers at rasterization. That's 80 plus % of the games. Your question is overly rhetorical. It's generally a good thing they are releasing a GPU, right?

I would understand SuperGeil's narrative if they were Founder Edition sku's.
"put your money where your mouth is or STFU".
Regardless of being Nvidia or PNY, there is picture proof right here.
Pretty sure the Jacket didn't meet some goons in an underground carpark with brief case of 78 GPU's in exchange for 12 keys of coke.
I don't know, Jen-Hsun Huang looks kind of guilty here after finishing unloading:
My obsession with AMD I bought a Fury X, Vega 64 and 5700XT not to mention I own a Ryzen 2700 and Ryzen 3800XT. And you're calling me? Really? What AMD have you bought recently? I've earned the right the criticise them because I actually buy there products. In England we have a phrase "put your money where your mouth is or STFU". I know which camp I'm in. Do you?
have you bought an RTX 3090 ?
