AMD boasts cheaper graphics than NVIDIA

As AMD's Frank Azor has commented in a tweet, their graphics card offering offers the best value for money compared to Nvidia. Azor is the chief architect for gaming and marketing solutions at AMD. He listed AMD's RX 6000-series GPUs against Nvidia's RTX 3000-series cards.

Frank Azor's chart includes all RX 6000 series cards released to the market, including the recent series refresh in the form of the RX 6X50 cards, or RDNA 2 refresh . When listing NVIDIA GPUs, they included the current RTX 3000 series, except for the RTX 3090 Ti.

AMD says that for price, an RX Radeon suits you

According to AMD, its fastest RDNA2 card, the Radeon RX 6950XT, offers 80% more performance per dollar compared to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3090. It also delivers superior performance per watt, with 22% more frames per watt. The most disparate performance-per-dollar-per-watt offerings from both sides are the RX 6400 and the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

Its RX 6400 offers 89% more FPS per dollar and 129% more performance per watt. It's worth noting that the RX 6400 launched earlier this year to a generally negative reception due to its reduced performance. It clearly has an advantage in manufacturing process and price, using TSMC's 6nm process, compared to the GTX 1050 Ti, which is already six years old and used a 14nm process.

It's worth noting that AMD's valuations are based on list prices from a single marketplace and a single vendor : Newegg. This means that AMD's claims, especially regarding price, translate in the same way across other marketplaces or even other US vendors. Furthermore, Azor likely chose the vendor offering the best price for both its own and Nvidia's offerings. Will this matter much to consumers? It's difficult to say, because, ironically, Newegg's best-selling GPUs have recently been dominated by Nvidia , possibly due to availability and stock levels that favored NVIDIA. Now that AMD is looking to restock its cards, it remains to be seen whether consumers will react the same way to cards that, at least according to an AMD representative, offer more for less money than NVIDIA's offerings.
