I think instead of lowering prices would be to have bundles where you get $50-100 off when purchased with a Ryzen 3000 series. It's a response that neither Intel nor Nvidia can counter.
They have tended to do that if you include the cost of the game bundles they include with GPU's, some of them easily worth $100, even on a RX 580/570 which are low priced atm, probably $80 when you factor in the RRP of the bundled gamesI think instead of lowering prices would be to have bundles where you get $50-100 off when purchased with a Ryzen 3000 series.

Why do I get the felling that if cat is out of the bag, they will do both: lower the GPU prices(P.S. they did, its official now), and bundle them with their CPUs.I think instead of lowering prices would be to have bundles where you get $50-100 off when purchased with a Ryzen 3000 series.

Now onto launch day drivers, which I also expect to be good.
2 more days
Let's hope that Sunday shows good results for Navi and this isn't a panic response but a response from strength.

While this a better price than before, i dont undertand how this is better value AT ALL
Okay so Navi is still overpriced. It's still $50 less. If speculation about the 5700 is correct, you just buy one of those and overclock it (5700XT probably has less headroom). Done deal. $349 isn't a great price for midrange, but it's approachable. And if NV cuts prices again, maybe we'll finally fall back from the inflated mining prices we saw in the recent past. That would be good for everyone.
So RTX 2070 Super performance for 100$ is bad deal? RTX 2060 Super for 50$ less is a bad deal?While this a better price than before, i dont undertand how this is better value AT ALL, at E3 they presented a GPU that was targeting the RTX2070 perf for $50 less... this was already bad for a number of reasons.
Now they are targeting the RTX2060 Super perf at $400 for the EXACT SAME PRICE. I rather buy the 2060s, specially with Cyberpunk coming out next year. Nvidia INCREASED THE PRICE OF THE 2060 and forced AMD to lower Navi 10 prices. This is beyond crazy, i belive these Navis are still overpriced by $50 to $100.
Thank you Nvidia!
Now all they have to do is do away with the GameWorks thing, open up NVLink to PCI-SIG, open-source CUDA, and um hmm stop selling $1300 consumer graphics cards, and I'll thank them.
I think he just meant they won't generally suck, which they did many times.There has never been a single time when AMD's launch drivers for a GPU resulted in a substantial improvement over leaked benchmarks. People held out the same hopes for Fiji, Polaris, and Vega - all to no avail.
Did Nvidia put the smack down on AMD? Or its AMD who is putting the smack down on Nvidia?So you're only happy Nvidia put the smack down on AMD so you could buy AMD cheaper.
How is that any different than the people that want competition from AMD only so they can buy Nvidia cheaper?

Otherwise, the answer is "yes". I want them both to make it easier for everyone to buy the other company's cards. It's called competition.
When AMD announced the pricing, I stated here that they set a price fully intending to drop it after nVidia set their pricing on the S models. So I am not surprised that they dropped the price. But its good for consumers.
