Also AMD seems to underestimate how many people may just be curious to use compute functionality with their consumer based card. I was ultra excited to get a rdna2 card to make a dedicated linux system with a friendly gpu. Gaming works, but davinci resolve doesn’t, can’t use AMF for screen recording or streaming. I have a 3060ti back in a box abd parts for a “work computer,” and I thought I would work a bit with my system with the 6700xt but can only really game, screen record, and edit video with kaden live using my intel cpu.

I watched a video over the weekend about how a new amd apu using rdna3 will make entry level/cheap graphics cards useless, but thats not really going to be the case if you want to dip your feet into utilizing an entry level card for workloads. Gamers turn their nose up at dinky gtx 1650s but at least you can use it to edit video. Theres no wonder intel doesnt see AMD as real competition in the space.
