Graphics Cards

[Cory_]

With today's news that AMD will be abandoning the high end, I'm feeling very nervous as somebody who bought a 7800xt less than a year ago.

My experience with Radeon has been pretty disappointing so far. Hoping I don't experience more disasters like the drivers for Kingdom Hearts as resources are inevitably taken away from high-end support.

AMD hasn't been competitive at the extreme high end for years. The 7900XTX couldn't touch the RTX 4090. What they're stating is with RDNA4 they aren't even going to try to make an RTX 5090 equivalent. They're going to focus on better mid and low range cards to try and recapture a higher percentage of the market.

Here's Gamers Nexus take on it:

Steve mentions the RX 580, a mid-range card, which is AMD's most popular card on Steam Hardware Survey. (not including integrated graphics)
