Thanks to having performance competitive top-end/halo cards, AMD GPUs have gotten a consumer mindshare win that they haven't had in years. TBH, the only reason I pay 800$ for a card today is to play games with ray tracing on at an acceptable resolution. This is only possible with nvidia RTX + DLSS. I wouldn't pay 800$ for an AMD card that gets me similar rasterization performance but none of the "modern" (3 year old already...) features I care about. Right now, _any_ GFX card is better than having no GFX. Both NVIDIA and AMD are sold out. I can't know how real the AMD mindshare is. We probably could only know if we had a market with enough supply of both.
