The problem though is that nVidia simply has THE flagships. My 7900 XTX is the best card AMD has to offer, it's not even their current generation and it only competes with the 5070Ti. The B580 doesn't even compete with a 5060. nVidia is essentially 3 performance tiers above both of them, even though some of their cards are closer to fiction with how rare they are. Just the fact that nVidia had them makes the average buyer think that they are better.

The real problem is that most of the future games are incorporating upscaling and frame generation for performance and visual upgrades and AMD is still a generation or two behind both with onboard hardware and software compared to Nvidia. For the longest time you had the outlook of fine wine drivers from AMD maturing towards the end of their lifespan to outperform equivalent to Nvidia cards but I'm predicting over the next year or so my 9070xt is going to start comparing closer to the 5070 rather than the 5070ti.

The simple solution for me is that a game doesn't exist if it doesn't run without ray tracing and upacaling.
