Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “AMD Calls Out…AMD?”.
Amd calls out AMD for bad value gpus. This is funny, but I respect it. Amd’S own blog recently published a post titled, never a better time to upgrade with Radeon graphics within it. One graphic compared amd’s gpus on value for the money showing FPS per dollar. Their latest Flagship gpus come in at less than half of the FPS per dollar of amd’s, best value GPU, the RX 6400.
For reasons unknown. The graphic is arranged with the worst value gpus at the top and the best at the bottom, total FPS is featured more prominently with big red bars. So I guess they are arranged in order of more FPS, yeah yeah, it’s pretty straightforward under that graphic. There’S an explanation in small type of how these results were achieved. All cards were tested at Max settings except the RX 6400, which was tested at medium settings, thereby making all the more expensive gpus look even worse in terms of value uh, because uh. This number is basically a big pile, uh. Okay, I respect it a lot less. I didn’t know that part uh discussion.
Question: should amd’s marketing department just ritually disemboweled themselves now or would poison be cleaner? First, because I thought they were like not shying away from things that people in the industry generally know which is like the maximum to your card, is not going to be the best price performance but sure you’re, gon na get the best FPS and stuff like. I thought they were doing a decent educational thing and then I heard about how they did it. Yeah and uh now may maybe poison yeah the 6400 uh being at medium settings.
Like I get it, you don’t want to show that it gets like no FPS. 22 FPS yeah um, but also no, you don’t get to do that. That’S not how benchmarking that it’s like super, not okay, yeah yeah, that’s ridiculous and that’s pretty cool .
