Now there's a strawman argument. Wher did I say any of that? I didnt. The only thing I said was that AMD has a habit of kneecaping themselves when they start catching nvidia. Rebranding cards, too little memory (4GB 580) or a x8 bus that impacts performance in some games (6600xt, 5500xt was hit by BOTH of these issues).
You know, outside of software that did show a performance difference. Of course:
So no real world consequences. Outside of real world consequences, but who coutnts those?
Right, so any time performance doesnt line up with expectations there are excuses. Using a x16 bus like nvidia would fix that problem, but the GPU isnt gimped. Everyone known that buggy console port games NEVER sell well or are popular, ever. Right?
If you have to come up with excuses for why examples of a x8 bus hurting performance dont actually matter you've answered your own question. You've constructed your own argument here that you can never lose because you immedately discredit anything that goes against your narrative. I dont knwo what it is about the modern internet where any criticism against a product has to be handwaved away. The 6600xt is already a gargantuan waste of money, why defend AMD further screwing with it by doing this x8 bus thing that nvidia woudl get raked over the coals for doing?
