Usually price to performance.
But always AMD. Been on team red for over a decade.
The price/performance ratio. Also I have a good history of being satisfied with AMD products over the long run.
Performance, I think the x3d cpus are the best right now and most likely will be the best for gaming.
Best bang for your buck you can get, also built my firs pc with all AMD and just carried on from there on every other one I have built
Price point for performance.
I'm new to this whole thing, but I love amd!
The biggest thing I love about with amd is having a higher ram count for the same price as its competitors! I also love that it's price is cheap! The drivers work as well.
I have a 7700x cpu and a
Performance, price, brand
Imma biggest fan of AMD products. I hate Nvidia bcs of their price to performance balance. Intel cpu sucks and heats too much.
I have bought RX 7900GRE few months back so this gpu will be a downgrade for me. However, in case I win, I'll give it to my friend who can then build a pc around it.
Have Ryzen 7 5700G paired with RX 7900GRE currently.
AMD ryzen 7600 at $299
I’d buy amd cause there the best
Price, performance, compatibility, and reviews and ratings are some of the things that influence my decision to buy AMD products, with special emphasis on reviews and ratings. I'm not very tech savvy, so I rely on reviews and ratings (from experts, hobbyists, etc.) to help me decide what I should or shouldn't buy.
Hi!
I've had a couple AMD GPUs in my life and they've been solid and reliable even when put through long gaming session or just intense games and heat. AMD offers a wide variety of GPUs and CPUs that you can easily find out which resolution you play on and with the AM5 Socket in play, you can futureproof your build easily. I've been a 1080p gamer for most of my life and switching to 1440p requires a beefy GPU. For these specific reasons I've assisted in building an all Red Team PC recently for my buddy, the installment process for the CPU was simple and straightforward, after setting everything up and running in a few compatibility issues (which were caused by a fault in my research and not comparing max possible ram speeds with XMP even though AMD literally has everything on their website hands down to help people calculate), we tested multiple games in 2K and 4K and i can honestly say that the price to performance on the 7900 GRE is phenomenal.
Personally, I do like to buy AMD for budget purposes and also i like to buy AMD for the performance it gives for its price compared to Nvidia. I have helped others with getting PCs and for both CPUs and GPUs i always say go AMD as its reliable and that the price is not inflated due to small gimmicks.
Definitely all of the above. I particularly care that there's enough VRAM capacity on GPUs and enough overall performance on CPUs.
I think it is a combination of all: price + performance, but certainly of some known brand (known - from the good side), cause you want to be able to enjoy it more than one day :). Thanks for this opportunity, to get gpu of a known brand, and nothing beats this price performace combo - free and powerful. GL for all !
Power efficiency: someone on achieved 13-17 watt on idle with 5600g so a great for homemade server with enough performance to Turn it into a powerful computer if it doesn't work out. Future proofing so that I don't need to swap the motherboard when I want to upgrade a CPU. Price to performance is incredible compared to competition.
AMD's best quality has got to be it's performance, compatibility, and reliability.
I was just thinking of changing from Intel to AMD due to it's reliability and compatibility with with other pc components!
I've never owned anything AMD. However with the current trends with Nvidia and AMD offering excellent price to performance ratio the research on AMD CPUs for gaming is no question the best for gaming. I want to jump the green-blue train and go red on my next build with Team Red.
I have always used AMD cpu's. From my first build in high school to my latest build for my son. Love the price to performance.
All of the above.
I have used AMD products ever since my first PC build about 10 years ago.
Very happy with AMD, and I won't be switching anytime soon. #RedTeam
Ethics. I love AMD because I feel like its a more ethical company than Nvidia. Giving AMD open sources some big components like Vulkan, and has also made FreeSync a royalty free open standard, I feel like its the better choice. Plus having a woman CEO is a big bonus! And also their CEO not wearing a leather jacket made from "100% genuine sheepskin" like Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang does.
I feel like AMD actually cares about its customers unlike Nvidia were i had lots of issues with their support. Also price to performance can't beat that. Overall great company with great products that anyone can afford and enjoy.
Hi! Im Shar. I've been using AMD for a while. First real "gaming" card was an RX560 4gb, ever since then I haven't switched from AMD. I fell in love with the Adrenaline edition software, and it feels natural to me now. Since then, I have upgraded to a Ryzen 9 7900x and an RX6650xt (the value for this card was insane at the time). However, I have started to play more demanding games and do 3D rendering for my classes, so an upgrade is due, and this would be a perfect opportunity! Good luck to all! Thank you!
Performance and price.
The things that influenced me to use AMD equipment in my build was partly because of pricing and i watched a lot of videos before building my first pc, that showed that AMD is the way to go. I have the Gigabyte B650M AX motherboard, Ryzen 7 7700X Chip, 7900XT GPU. To win this sweepstakes would really help me build my youtube/twitch channel on which i review PC equipment and i have been only using AMD parts.
Price to performance
Definitely the price to performance and FPS per dollar. Sure NVIDIA has DLSS, but just recently I’ve tried AMD’s new Fluid Motion Frames generation technology, and it’s incredible. I love having an AMD Advantage system. I also just prefer AMD’s Adrenaline software over NVIDIA’s control panel.
Mainly price, but lately size and power requirements. Does my poor power supply have the juice and connectors to support the new beastly card? And will it fit I'm my mATX case? This card would definitely work in my system 😉
GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed are the two main outlets that heavily influence my buying decisions when it comes to the PC parts that they review.
Their consumer focused, data driven approach is much welcomed over the HypeBus™ marketing influencers that leaves one with a sense of meh wanting to return the product in hand.
AMD, there's no need to cherry pick your data sets, be real with us with your marketing. We're adults, we can handle it for the most part. 🤓
I've been building PCs since 1988, and I started buying AMD Processors in the early 90s. I liked the price and performance. Not only that, but I even got the circuit board manufacturing company where I worked as a PCB Engineer, Testing Programmer and AOI Programmer to use AMD CPUs in their systems. I've also been using AMD graphics cards for the last 20 plus years for my own systems, since one of my hobbies is animation and graphics. I don't recall having any serious issues with your products, so I don't see myself using Nvidia or Intel products anytime soon. Keep up the fantastic work
CPU RYZEN 7800X3D
GPU RADEON RX6800 XT
All the above!
All of the above. AMD's products are reliable, energy efficient, and have great performance at a fair price.
I think AMD is the future and eventually will be the microsoft of tech industry.
Ultimately it comes down to price/performance. But the style(looks) of the card can weigh on the buyer emotionally to sacrifice a few fps or pay a couple of dollars more. That's my 2 cents..
As I already have many AMD CPUs and some GPUs, the decision often comes down to how much performance against what I already have. Can't get better than my 7800X3D for gaming, but my old 3070 (sorry shortage pricing) is starting to show it's age. I'd go 7800XT or 7900GRE minimum for a decent uplift from my current 8gb card. Perhaps the best part would be to pass the GPUs down the line and give everyone in my immediate family an uplift.
Lucks to all
Price, performance, and brand reputation are key factors influencing my decision to purchase an AMD product, ensuring value and reliability
Price is a significant factor when deciding to purchase an AMD product. AMD is known for offering competitive pricing, often providing better value for money compared to its main competitor,
best bang for the buck and better performance cant go wrong been with AMD K6 3 core CPU to now the 7800x3d been so many years . thank you AMD!
Hi Sam,
My biggest influence is price to performance. Brand is my strong second.
Price to performance story
When I built my most recent computer (2018) I was so impressed with the Ryzen 2700x's performance and price when compared to anything from team blue that I had to go with AMD and you know what, that CPU is still going strong today. I'd also like to tell you that I build a lot of computers for friends and for a few businesses and I always put in an AMD in because they are such a good value from the lower end "APUs" to the higher Range Ryzens.
Branding story
After watching what team blue was doing and all the BS they kept pulling with needing new MBs every generation and these tiny generational improvements, I saw what AMD was doing with the AM4 platform and thought that was such a great deal. Knowing that my motherboard that wasn't exactly cheap can still be upgraded to support far newer CPUs is awesome. It just seemed like AMD as a brand was looking out for it's customers and innovating rather than just being greedy and that cemented me as a fan of team red!
Now to hopefully win an AMD GPU because my green boy was a hand me down from a friend and that sweet sweet vram on the 7800xt is awesome!
For me, I'm mostly concerned about raw performance relative to the price. Nvidia's prices recently have become rather outrageous, but I've been able to find quality with AMD for an actually fair amount that doesn't make my wallet act like it's been abused. Brand is like the last thing I care about, although I do pay attention to the designer of a card because I know with AMD it's good to learn towards Sapphire, Powercolor, ASrock, and XFX since they focus all their efforts on top level AMD card construction.
