>AMD spends 200 million on R&D every quarter for both CPU and GPU >Nvidia spends 300 million every quarter for just GPU
why does Sup Forums find it so hard to believe that the 1060 destroys the rx480 in every way possible, no "muh Async" bullshit involved? Theres been billions more put into Pascal than Rajeet would ever hope to make off of AMD products.
the thing is Nvidia could sell it for $200, kill AMD, and still make a profit
technologically wise Nvidia will always be superior to AMD, and them deciding not to prematurely support Async or HBM has nothing to do with it

>technologically wise Nvidia will always be superior to AMD You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

I prefer AMD's business practises.

5€ difference in Italy Can't order a 480 for cheaper than 274€

Real talk:
Does Intel even consider AMD real competition in the majority of the markets they share?

Realistically speaking, Intel could stop selling processors to home system builders and still be very profitable. AMD is competitive in certain categories but overall isn't much of a threat.

More spending doesn't always equal a better product. There was a brief time where AMD caught fucking Intel off guard and were kicking their asses.

During those times the gap between intel and AMD in terms of spending on R&D and revenue were closer to each other.

It was just intel being retarded with netburst. There were desktop MBs for pentium M which OC shitted even on athlon64 at the time.
Evan Nelson
Proof? I don't believe it at all. AMD were a much smaller company then and were the underdogs. They didn't even have their hand in GPUs yet.
According to this, Intel spent 3.1 billion on R&D in 1999, the year the Athlon was released. I highly doubt AMD spent anywhere near as much.
The losing party of any competition is "the party just being retarded with x". My point stands that the money isn't everything.

it's $10 more stop fanboying you retarded AMD faggot

>$300 Non-Founder's are $249. Founder's is, admittedly, just a cash grab to make a quick buck on low availability.
Plus, the $249 price tag is the same as that of the 8GB RX480, which means the 1060 has better performance at the same cost with less VRAM than the 8GB RX480, or better performance at a worse cost with more VRAM than the RX480 4GB.
