Arrr, word be sailin' through the salty winds that AMD be fixin' to focus on modest cannons fer their next generation o' graphics cards. Aye, tis a tale worth a jig, mateys!
According to a new report, it is rumored that AMD is working on a graphics card that will offer the same performance as the Nvidia RTX 4080, but at only half the price. This isn't the first time we've heard these rumors, as there was a report back in 2023 about AMD focusing on the mid-range market. The latest report suggests that the mid-range options of the AMD Radeon 8000 series will cost between $400-600, which is a significant price cut compared to the RTX 4080. In a market that lacks affordable options, this could be a game-changer for AMD.There are also rumors that AMD will focus on the mid-range and lower-end options, leaving the high-end graphics cards to Nvidia in the next generation. While this may seem like a poor decision, it makes sense for AMD given their struggle with ray-tracing options in their graphics cards. Nvidia also has the advantage of DLSS 3 versus AMD's FSR 3, but this advantage is narrowing.
According to a YouTube leaker, AMD had plans for a high-end Radeon RX 8000 graphics card, but it would have come with a hefty price tag of around $2,500. Considering AMD's current struggles with ray tracing, this price point would have been hard to justify for consumers.
All in all, if these rumors are true, AMD could potentially shake up the market with a powerful and budget-friendly graphics card that rivals Nvidia's offerings while catering to a significant market demand.
