      Fine wine: aka release a product with dogshit drivers and make them a little better over time.

        Yeah I don’t understand the fine wine stuff. Its copium.

        Ask: Would you rather get a product that is great on launch or want to wait 6months or even 2 years to get that great product drivers when the product itself is now beginning to age as a new generation arrives. And after you’ve probably played the game.

          The RX480 was fine on launch and became a lot better with time, my 1060 6go not so much, the best upgrade i got was AMD FSR working on it. That’s what i call fine wine as an ex-nivida owner (who will replace is new 6700 10go by any good cards sub 300€ from any vendors in a few years).

          edit : the 1060 6go still was a good buy and i was happy with it for it’s price, but for cheaper i could have had a RX480 at that time.

          yeah lol. this also happens in the cpu side where people brag about upgrading their 2700X cpu to 5800x3d when 9900k users are stuck on their motherboards. meanwhile i’ve been enjoying the 9900k a lot more for a lot longer than they’ve upgraded haha

      fine wine never was a thing. The drivers are just always trash at launch and get better in the following years.
