I get the feeling that Intel and Nvidia are letting AMD survive. It just seems like they both have their boots on AMD's throat, but they won't crush them because of monopoly laws and all that bullshit.
Think there's any truth to that?
No. that's not happening. delete this thread.

I am imagining her getting double penetrated by Intel and nvidia old fat men right now.

If AMD went under, both companies would instantly be put under more restrict regulation to prevent monopoly exploitation.
Happened to the major oil producer in my country. They even went and invested in their competitor at prevent themselves from getting fucked.

thats hot

of course. they could obliterate them with full size GPUs but instead they release AMD-friendly 70 and 80 GPUs for the 3rd time now (started with GTX780 ti)
same with intel jews could just change less for their hex and octa cores but they need AMD to be on the horizon so they could offer superior performance for more

Amada-chan pleases old men for money!

It's why nvidia avoided releasing the 1060 until the 480 soaked up a bunch of sales.
It doesn't hurt that amd fucked up the 480 a bit so they'll still get sales for the 1060

exactly

Also no dual gpu so AMD can sit on top of a few benchmarks.

How could they achieve this?
By buying some of their stock from time to time?
Buying shares using a proxy?
Releasing shitty videocards themselves is s stupid idea so that's out of the question.

It's all intentional.

The top two gpu manufacturers colluding to keep each others profits high as possible? Impossiburu!
What in the world makes you think they would share secrets and R&D breakthroughs with each other, plan out release schedules as to not hurt the others business, etc?
was the 380x any good?
>>55470753
No, often bested by a 280X(7970)
AMD is a mess.
But AMD is still losing money every year. Wouldn't it be easier to give up before losing even more money?
>>55470753
Yes. It scores better than the 960.
