in the current state of things in the PC industry especially the video card industry things are really kind of on the wack side I mean as much as I love to be totally excited about a technology and go crazy I admit that the r-tx they even though a lot of things were cool was a mixed bag I mean I think the really main thing about the launch is that none of us were really expecting what would happen everybody is like okay it's gonna be all about frames per second like it always is but then all of a sudden you know and video like took like a left turn everybody's like dude is something different I mean usually when Nvidia releases something you know you get to use the technology right when it comes out unlike RTX what you know people are still kind of going okay well when is all it's r-tx going to be here and there's some other features and stuff in there where he's going okay well when is all this stuff really gonna become real-time now on the other side of the coin where in the Sam heck is AMD I'm going to tell you in the news for the game decided things yeah it's really very very disappointing so first of all if you're looking for any kind of really new technology on the AMD side you're looking at q2 of 2019 and you can say oh Elric you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong but trust me on this one I ain't wrong all right got an inside source so I'm telling you right now you ain't gonna see anything new until q2 of 2019 but however however and it's it really gonna matter there will be a Polaris Reaper oh my god a Polaris three French oh my god they're gonna take the chip they're gonna change it a little bit really sinan change them and charge you more money probably - mmmm interesting stuff but there will be a Polaris refresh twelve nanometer Polaris refresh probably what you're going to see is just the clock speeds you know and stuff going up a little bit and that's really going to be it you know from 1400 probably to like 1500 is probably what you're gonna see you know and those are the kind of numbers which honestly huh that's really sad I mean let's just face it most of the cards right now on the Nvidia site unless you want to buy some the older generation cards you're pretty much you know paying an arm and a leg which kind of makes go man you know where is a nd where is the competition and when AMD isn't competition that's really really bad for the market I mean come on a Polaris refresh that's what we're gonna get this year from AMD that's the excitement oh boy and I'm gonna tell you this right now you're gonna see a lot of the major card companies out there they're not even gonna bother making cards I mean honestly trust me on this when stuff comes out there are gonna be some of the major people that you usually see making the AMD cards who are probably going to just totally pass on this refresh and say you know what we'll just wait you know we've got five ATS we've got all these other cards they're doing fine on the market we can sell them for pretty cheap and do all that so you know why you know waste your money you know your time and your investment investing in something that's really not all that great I mean obviously people will jump on board with because like okay well you know if you're a starving person you're gonna eat something that you normally wouldn't eat you know if you had a full belly right so some people be just like desperate psyche oh my god anything from AMD just to get it here from AMD we need some from AMD okay let's just do this but in reality that really kind of sucks it really does suck so I mean honestly do any of you guys out there really really honestly care about a Polaris refresh I mean is that really super duper exciting news for you I mean are you gonna be jumping and running down the street going yes there's another Polaris card coming probably not but you know it will be coming out so we're gonna see a nice Polaris refresh pretty soon from the folks at AMD now another thing that really kind of sucks too is that when they made the Vegas 56 and the Vegas 64 he really didn't make all that many chips and unfortunately they didn't make other cards based on that same technology I mean it would have been nice to see you know some lower end cards you know that were like you know pretty much entry level and stuff that were just SuperDuper affordable but still played games right but unfortunately the Vegas 56 in the Vegas 64 it's there and it's gone and that sit and so now you're gonna have to wait all the way until 2019 till a quarter to to really see anything hit the market from AMD so I mean really Nvidia could have pretty much honestly this is a straight-up truth they didn't need to release anything they didn't have to release Jack diddly doo doo because with AMD not releasing anything on the video card side of things and focusing right now really strictly on their CPU side of things which is a whole nother story um obviously you guys have seen the dude from gamers Nexus he's talked about it like things are really getting SuperDuper close on the on the CPU side of things between AMD and Intel so right now AMD is really hot on that which is kind of the a.m. you know AMD style whatever is they think is hot at the moment it's what they focus all their attention on well unfortunately though this is putting a giant gap in the video card market I mean the RT X launch and pretty much Nvidia just being able to get you know what let's do something just totally crazy right now because what's a nd gonna do about it you know what I mean I mean they just release it more like hey okay cool let's experiment and see how people react to this you know the prices are crazy the technology's not even really totally mature yet but guess what all those cards sold and they're selling selling selling selling selling you know but for the AMD fans and the people who don't have a lot of money and just are really loyal AMD folks you know right now they're kind of getting bent over by AMD AMD should be concentrating on their video card side of the thing as much as the CPU side of things just because the cpu thing is getting hot for them it doesn't mean that you need to leave via their part of your business really being unattended to you know what I mean I mean you raise chickens you don't leave the door with a box to come in and it just doesn't make any sense I don't know why Andy's doing it obviously I guess they think that within the CPU thing right now is what's you know the all-mighty everything to compete with the big you know the big blue giant of Intel but I wish there was more stuff honestly I know you do as well so let me know do you guys really care about a Polaris refresh because honestly I don't I think it's kind of lackluster it's a little bit you know too little too late I want something new I want something fast and I want something that can actually compete with Nvidia come on Andy quit letting us down release some new video cards pour some money get some people and fix that stuff CPUs are cool but hey video cards are what gamers love to sink their teeth into
