Upgrading 1050ti to 2070

I do wonder how fast the gddr6 will be compared to hbm2 on vega. I kinda feel like the vega 64 will still lead in memory performance.

though a 150 watt vega 64 is refreshing but also pretty bad for amd. 7nm gave them 16nm pascal level of efficiency. still a generation behind nvidia in power efficiency.

Why does AMD always pull this shit. Instead of distancing themselves from the kikes of Intel and Nvidia, they name their products in extremely similar manner the competition does.
First confusing chipset names, you can't tell whether it's a fucking Intel or AMD motherboard now they're literally ONE LETTER away from the future Nvidia RTX 30x0.
And still no competition against the Ti versions.

Pretty much exactly how I read OP.
Step one, completely forget about the rest of hardware
Step two, select a GPU based on your monitor resolution and refresh rate
If you're just gaming on a 1080p 60hz screen and want a high end card for reasons of "fuchah proof!", then kys.

>inb4 2400mhz ddr4 memory

That's just sad though

AMDs entire gpu branding is burned at this point. Years of being worse made the whole 200,300,...,500 series naming scheme completly shit. If amd truly has a new, good product they will change the naming scheme dramatically. The best choice would be a 3000 series. It's one step above nvidias 2000 series and almost forces nvidia to make adjustments to their future naming schemes while also being the same as the ryzen 3000 series, a powerful cpu architecture released almost at the same time.
Yeah sure the enthusiasts will bich about the naming for a week, just like they did with Ryzen and epyc, but in the end they won't give a damn.

It's called marketing and you obviously don't really understand it that well. When your competitor has established a well known branding while you weren't able to compete you'll obviously not try to spent shit tons of money to create a separate well known branding but just try to use their branding too.
Every tard knows i3/5/7s so amd copied the scheme with r3/5/7. Intels motherboard chipsets are "well known" amounts enthusiasts, amd mostly just copies it. Nvidia built a well received naming scheme? Amd will copy that too, see

I understand, but the cards are shit, they're barely competing with the mid range while marketing them as one tier higher (RX 3080 competing with 2070).

Not only that but they're naming them almost exactly the same. Ryzen naming scheme is actually fine because it's very different from current Intels numbers (2700X vs 9700K).
I'm talking about RX 3080 vs RTX 3080, that's fucking retarded.

>I understand, but the cards are shit
How could you possibly know that?

The Hawaii, Fiji and Polaris cards are excellent with the exception of the Fury. Why would you think they're "completely shit"?

I own a r9 290 and have previously owned a 480. These cards are decent but objectively worse than nvidias competing cards. Especially the 200 and 300 series were utterly destroyed by nvidia, polaris was a bit better but still lacked behind.

>The Hawaii, Fiji and Polaris cards are excellent with the exception of the Fury. Why would you think they're "completely shit"?
user said the naming scheme of amds cards (in terms of branding) has become complete shit. It's burned since Hawaii, Fiji and polaris weren't excellent but mediocre at best while nvidia was up ahead.

>I understand, but the cards are shit, they're barely competing with the mid range while marketing them as one tier higher (RX 3080 competing with 2070).
First of, the cards aren't shit, you know that. But yes the rx 3080 would compete with a 2070, that's for sure. But to be honest amd did this before. The 290 was in competition to the 780/970. The average customer might just see a 3080 and think it's better, he sees the low price and just buys it.

>Not only that but they're naming them almost exactly the same. Ryzen naming scheme is actually fine because it's very different from current Intels numbers (2700X vs 9700K).
Well when I'm talk about a 2600 I could reasonably refer to i7 or a r5.

>I'm talking about RX 3080 vs RTX 3080, that's fucking retarded.
Nvidia would probably not choose the 3000 branding when amd did use it before. Because that would put them in direct competition with amd. When normie #264731 goes online and searches for a 3080 on Amazon and sees a rx 3080 for 300$ and a rtx 3080 for 800$ I'm pretty sure he won't just buy the 800$ model. He'll either just buy the cheap thing or he might do a little bit of research and realize that the 3080 is (i guess)
66% faster, so he now has to decide if he wants to spend that money. That's something nvidia doesn't want their customers to do. They don't want them to be reminded that they could get somewhat slower but much cheaper products from their competition.
Nvidia would not use the same branding as amd. The market leader doesn't want to be associated with it's much smaller competitor.
