What? When did they say that? I just bought a high-end AMD card and it’s wicked fast.
They said, about a month ago, that their 8000 series GPUs won’t have a high end option, only low and mid tier.
That’s crazy! But cards are so fast these days it doesn’t seem like you need a high end model anyway. My machine with a 980 ti can still run everything on Ultra, except for VR which it runs on medium.
A lot of newer AAA games rely on ray tracing and AI upscaling to even be able to properly render at 1080p . This is their way to make up for developer’s shit hardware optimization and insistence on investing in diminishing returns for graphical realism.
But rumours also say that RDNA 4 will be somewhat of a half-assed generation and that they’re putting resources in something maybe called “UDNA” instead, which will compete at the top end.
