Nvidia’s Integration Dreams

>AMD has had pretty much always a solid mid-tier offering in the last five years, but people would still rather buy an nVidia card (like, say, a 1050) instead of the better AMD (at the price point) because of the "1080 Ti" halo effect.

Do people actually think this way? "I'll buy the nvidia 2060 super rather than the amd 5700 xt (for the same price, and benchmarks higher), because nvidia has the 2080 ti"

The people who look at benchmarks aren't the ones deciding that way. It's more like "I heard Nvidia makes the fastest GPUs, I'll buy the Nvidia one I can afford."

Sure, but not consciously. People hear that nvidia XX80 is top-of-the-line and then will associate nvidia with higher performance generally.

Have you seen the NVidia RTX 3090? US$1500 and up.
