There is no way to know what purpose a GPU was bought for.
And AMD sold better than Nvidia because AMD cards are the gold standard for mining. Mining is the only reason their sales aren't in the gutter because AMD GPUs cannot compare to Nvidia for gaming. I'm not saying that as an Nvidia fanboy either (I'd much rather have an AMD GPU to use with my freesync display), AMD cards are just a full generation behind Nvidia.
AMD CPUs on the other hand are fantastic and completely blow away Intel in price-to-performance ratio.
LOL at AMD cards cannot compare to Nvidia but you are not a fanboy. LMAO. People on this forum are precious.
They launched Vega 56 and 64 at the end of 2017 to compete with Nvidia's GTX 1070 and 1080 (and they still fall short). Until then, their strongest card was the 580, which is equivalent to a 1060. They're a full generation behind Nvidia.
Ayone who is a fanboy of a specific hardware manufacturer (like you since Xbox uses AMD) is an idiot. You always go for the best cost-to-performnce ratio, and AMD GPUs are awful value right now.
I don’t know about a ”full generation behind”
A R9 290 X at 1440p or 4k in newest games does well vs a 780 Ti.
And a R9 Fury X does well vs a 980 Ti.
Yeah benchmarks show that 1080 Ti is king in today’s games, but I wouldn’t be shocked if a Vega 64 made a comeback in future games and matches or surpassed 1080 Ti performance with the more texture heavy games
