#2I'd appreciate RDNA2 card for 2560x1440 too that's not crazily priced. Less power consumption and more performance would be useful.

#3They aren't going to win anything until they fix their laughably bad drivers and keep them fixed. I have several Ryzens, but there's no way I'd go anywhere near their graphics cards.

#4Their software things (drivers, compilers, apis) are laughable.

#5I’ll believe it when I see it. ATI has never made a good product and nothing has changed recently to turn them around.

#6Which would be lovely. High End GPU movement and pricing has been depressingly stagnant.

#7Latest Ampere datacenter rumors are 70% speedup compared to V100, meaning 25TFlops in FP32, whereas AMD in theory could to 15Tflops and in practice only 8Tflops due to their software. They would have to improve speed 3x just to match NVidia's next generation GPUs; I am not sure upcoming Big Navi would be sufficient.

They had some good GPUs when they were well-funded; once AMD started to use RTG's revenue to keep their CPU business alive, they vanished from the high end.

It's not comparable in efficiency but AMD is already shipping Vega II modules in the Mac Pro that claim "up to 28.3
FP32 TFLOPS".
And regardless, the article is about 4K gaming. I don't doubt Nvidia will have some 7nm monster but there might be a time period before it launches where AMD briefly regains the crown.

I'm running an RX 570 on Linux and it works fine for my purposes (work, Steam games & Blizzard games under wine).
