at least sarafino posted some proof.. why cant you do the same ?? oh wait.. cause you have none.. its your own opionion.. and because you hate anything made by amd...
I hate AMD? I bought the original Athlon at launch kid. I've owned tons of ATI and AMD products over the years. I have tough love for AMD. I want them to stop sucking and produce good cards again. Patting them on the back for mediocrity isn't helping them. AMD is like that alcoholic friend who needs to hit rock bottom before they can get their shit together again.
Steam's survey numbers aren't useless. The survey doesn't measure sales and it isn't supposed to. It measures usage. There is also nothing wrong with counting cafes in China. Cafes in China represent both usage and sales. There is however an issue of counting them in a way congruent with how private machines are counted. But what can be said is that when AMD GPUs are barely registering on the survey while competing NVIDIA GPUs show a significant share, then sales of the NVIDIA GPUs are likely much higher among gamers than sales of the AMD GPUs. It's not scientific, but it is very reasonable, unless you have reason to believe there is a massive bias among people who play mostly EA games to very significantly prefer the AMD cards, or you believe that AMD card owners buy their cards but hardly use them compared to NVIDIA owners, as examples.
Trying to position your products in a competitive market is "pulling a 'me too'"? Half of Nvidia's current Kafkaesque GPU product line are the prototypical example of "me too". How many different Geforce GPU's does Nvidia currently have on the market now? 14?
Wow somebody is butthurt. Please explain why with the 1070, 1660 Super, 1660 Ti, vanilla 2060, Vega 56, and RX 5700 we needed another card in this segment?

1660S can be had for $210, $300 for 5700 non-XT.Sorry but what is the point of this card again?

It has no point. It's AMD pulling a "me too" in the already very crowded budget 1440p video card segment.Korguz - Friday, January 24, 2020 - link
like intel and nvidia do with their products ???sarafino - Friday, January 24, 2020 - link
