AIB factories sell MSRP products as flagship Gpus, such as sapphire Nitro, Nitro similar to the MSI Ventus, but costs $600 to $700. This GPU may be discounted to $500 on Black Friday. A fake flagship GPU！

Except for Gigabyte, the flagship Gpus of these AIB factories are basically impersonated using msrp fake.

What are you talking about?

Nitro is just a midrange card, but AIB partners are marketing it as an enthusiast-grade card and selling it at $700. We need real enthusiast cards where can we get them?

I'm willing to spend more on enthusiast cards, but AIBs simply aren't producing real enthusiast cards (except for GIGABYTE and ASUS). I'd rather let \)700 blow away in the wind.

Sounds like you should either buy a RX 7900 XTX or spend twice that on a RTX 4090 or RTX 5080 GPU.  AMD is trying to serve the mid-range GPU market, which makes more sense since most gamers are buying in that range.

Yeah, AMD could have made a double-sized RDNA 4 die to compete at the top end, but it would be expensive to produce at around 700 mm2 and the R&D cost to try to beat the 5090 probably wouldn't get paid back by a slice of the 15% market share that the high end cards take up.  I think that this is more like the 5700 XT generation where AMD is aiming at the highest volume market to claw back some market share.  The 6000-series cards were actually pretty good, and I'm still using one today.  Also, now that I think about it, they would need to have as much power as a 5090 too, which takes 4x 8 pin connectors or a gamble with 1-2x 12V-6x2 connectors.

AMD decided not to compete in the enthusiast class this generation. Instead they focused on mid range GPUs. If you want an enthusiast card from AMD then buy a 7900 XTX. If you want a more powerful card then get a 4090 or 5090.
