Today is another great lesson in why AMD needs to shut its mouth when it has a product that's actually competitive. If the company would stop throwing rocks at NVIDIA over things it, too, is susceptible to, it wouldn't look so bad when it faces the same availability problems.
Frankly, right now, it'd be bad if you DID have stock more than an hour. It'd mean no one wants your product. Nothing stays on shelves this quarter -- consoles, CPUs, GPUs, I haven't even been able to get new bike shoes for 3 months. AMD knew this, but still cast its stones.
It's fine to run out and we expected RDNA2 to run out. There's no shame in that. The fact that it's relatively competitive in non-RT gaming underscores that. The problem, as ever with AMD, lies in marketing in a way that appeals to fervor rather than focusing on its strengths.
Should add one thing: Credit to the Ryzen team. They've done well to basically ignore Intel and do their own thing, as Intel once did to them. That's the better way to do it. RTG could learn from Ryzen's team.
