Why do people keep bashing AMD's new GPU currently?
Willco2:
Every single video I have seen about the Frontier Edition of AMD's latest GPU has just been bashing it in benchmarks (that aren't even professional type work loads) because it can't keep up with a GTX 1080. AMD has gone on record multiple times saying "this isnt a gaming gpu," "we'll unveil the gaming ones at the end of the month" and yet people are just like "lol it costs over $1000 and cant keep up with a 1080 bad card dont buy ecks dee." Sorry if I sound like a raging AMD fanboy or something, but its getting really annoying that people are judging Vega in games before it's even had a big consumer release.
PhantOS:
gamers tend to be self-righteous in their computer knowledge and love to rub their $5000 hardware into people's faces.
nothing new

Because you'd expect a 1000+ gpu to outperform sub 600-500 ones.

this card is not really optimized for gaming applications. its really for servers and creative stuff and things like that and not games. it's expensive because the stuff in it is really good for server stuff.
being a fan of amd ever since ryzen came out, this is kind of sad to see that people are ignorant like this.
edit: changed some wording
