Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still

I wanted to upgrade my 1060 for the longest time for something like the 3080. But during to demand and prices hikes, I waited… 40 series got released and the prices stayed high.
So I just gave up, I got a steam deck and PS5 instead.

A lot of people did this. The GPU market for gaming might have actually shrunk. You would think Nvidia would panic but due to AI chip demand their stock is at an ATH and no company changes course or reevaluates and what they’re doing when shareholders are lining up to suck their dicks, so…no end in sight. Meanwhile AMD doesn’t seem to want to even try to make a play for market share.

Technically AMD does have more market share when you think about all the devices has AMD in them like Playstation, Xbox, steam deck and other handhelds.
But yeah Nvidia doesn’t care about gaming anymore, If I had to pick a GPU today, I would pick AMD because Nvidia 6-8 VRAM isn’t enough and AMD is better on linux.

If you want to do any game streaming though (e.g. on Sunshine/moonlight), Nvidia is still miles ahead.

What are some issues AMD is having there? The sunshine pages show both AMD and Intel support now is I assumed they were gtg

I recently experimented with both of those on AWS and they are completely not usable atm. At least not over WAN and with gpu mounted to a device you don’t have compete control over.
Does streaming work any better over LAN?
