True. Back in the day AMD was it. I always choose them over Intel because their chips were so overclock friendly. Surprised they fell so far, but this is a good start to recovery.
OMG, I want it so badly. Like, what's going on? How come a 200$ card outperfoms NVidia's flagship?! :O
Makes me wonder how many people possibly made the same mistake as you did there? Hmm. The downside of crossfire as mentioned above is heat generation and added power supply usage.
And that a lot of videogames don't work well using 2GPUs. I've been using NVidia's SLI for years now and most of games showed higher FPS when I only used 1 GPU, lol. AMD's Crossfire is probably similar.
Ive seen a lot of people say that. One thing I can theorycraft about is that maybe for VR in the future, when the screens go 4k or 8k, you will need one card per eye? This kind of set up would be perfect!
I like the the July 29th $6 dollar calls if I can get a bigger pullback. I currently have a low ball bid in
Agree with both. AMD had essentially disappeared from any real consideration when buying cards. NVidia just worked great, which made it feel like a gamble to try anything else. So AMD had to go with ultra-low priced cards, just to entice people to start trying them again. You can't sell premium cards from nothing, you need to build up a dedicated user base first.
I think they have done just that! $200 is the best value on the market for this kind of power. The AMD fanboi movement got its biggest bump in years!
Yes the user base has a 83% market share in VR and from some of the PR it says they have grabbed some of the GPU share. Moving forward I want to see what has developed in China where they have contracts in place. Trading near the LOD
Last Friday I said I didn't think the buying was done and AMD gapped up and hit a 52 week high @5.45 this morning. Then the profit taking set it. Even dropping 3% AMD is still overbought so we may see it pull back further which would be the norm. Today I bought the $6 calls for July 29 and August 19th. These are what I call my foot in the door buys. They were small 1st tier buys in case the price goes up before I can buy at a lower price then I would average up on the uptrend. I still hold the Jan 20th $5.50 and $7 calls
I wish I had I think the only genre of games I'd like to play in VR is horror games. Mind that, I still haven't finished Outlast cause it's gotten the best of me haha.
Watching L2 there was some big sells but the buying was out weighing that...With that I averaged up on my $6 calls for August 19th @.27
