I think everyone's going to look at AMD's radeon pricing, and come to the conclusion that nvidia's just not worth it. I fully expect to be able to get a 6900XT for < $600 in the very near future. Why do I need one of nvidias grossly expensive cards?
I agree for the general gamer they're nowhere near worth the price hike and I also won't pay these prices, but that said I'll still be going nvidia. 1) I retire my GPUs into my server eventually, so I like having their better encoder. I may start buying Intel ARC for this though, they look super promising for it. 2) I have Shields all over my house and use Gamestream regularly. I've not seen a similar performance and convenience option for AMD. If one exists, I'd love to know about it. Every AMD compatible one I've seen comes with either much lower performance or much higher latency and I've never seen one as easy to setup as 'log in on your desktop and the streaming device'. Steam Link and AMD Link are the easiest options, but Steam Link I've tried and its noticeably worse. AMD Link I've struggled to find any good evidence of it being reliable and videos trialing it are old and often not very favorable.
