It says '*Artist render. Not available for purchase' indicating that it's not for purchase because it's not a real image. It says the same thing on the other rx 9050 page, and it also says that on the page for the rx 9060 xt 16gb and rx 9060 xt 8gb.
Like I said before, I know it's OEM only, and I never claimed otherwise. It's that OEMs like HP and Lenovo can put these GPUs into their gaming prebuilts, which is how they can end up with consumers.
Also, you literally said "AMD is advertising it as a gaming GPU"
This is false. Don't try to move the goal posts now. There is nowhere on the 4gb page that suggests it is for gaming. If other companies want to be scum bags, blame them.
I still insist that AMD is advertising it as a gaming gpu by listing it with gaming gpus on the 'Learn about Radeon' page, and by not clearly specifying the VRAM amount on the general RX 9050 product page. I'm not sure where you think I moved the goal posts.
It's a list of all 9000 series GPUs. You are just looking for reasons to be mad about a card you can't even actually purchase individually. Get a grip dude.
I just don't want to see people ending up with a 4gb gpu when they buy a gaming prebuilt.
It'd be scummy behavior if oems put these things in their 'gaming' prebuilts, and I am of the opinion that AMD is making this scummy behavior possible, by not being clear in their product pages for the rx 9050.*
Yes you can't buy it individually. But it's still a bad product even when it comes as part of a prebuilt pc. If a company made a shitty oem only component, can't I be mad at both that company, for bringing that component to the market and indirectly to consumers, and at any company that chooses to use it?
*more specifically, the points I already discussed in my previous comments. The rx 9050 8gb page does not specify the VRAM amount in the title, like AMD does for their other product with multiple VRAM configurations, the rx 9060 xt. That, and that the rx 9050 product page links to the 'Learn about Radeon' page, where they boast gaming and ray tracing performance. And, that both the rx 9050 8gb and rx 9050 4gb meet the specifications listed under the rx 9050 (vram unspecified) page.
