Amd says the gpu market will be depressed in early 2019

As for launches in the graphics card market, AMD appears to have had a quiet year. They released the 5XX series of cards, including the most recent, RX 590, and certainly no one is banging their heads to get them.

AMD CEO not very optimistic about graphics card market next year

As relatively cheap cards, they offer a lot of performance. However, it seems that right now even Nvidia's RTX card range isn't taking off as well as expected, and overall 2019 is shaping up with little 'chicha', at least from a consumer point of view.

This could carry over to part of next year, according to what AMD says. The red company thinks things are going to get a little worse before it gets better. In a report via PCGamesN , the company has said it expects the first part of 2019 to be quite "depressive" in the GPU world.

What does 'depressive' mean?

The AMD CEO has said they expect low revenues in this segment "We think it will take a couple of quarters to clear." Referring to this year, and he is not optimistic in 2019 either. "So beyond the fourth quarter, I would expect the graphic segment to be equally depressed in the first quarter of 2019."

His statements are probably correct. The RTX series has been a disappointment in terms of price and it doesn't look like they are going to drop anytime soon. Nor are you seeing stratospheric performance jumps and AMD has nothing in the short term to compete against that. Also, it will take several months for Nvidia to launch the RTX 20's mid-range. Everything indicates that we will have several quiet months, until AMD can present something interesting with Navi.
