Yeah it seems pretty unrealistic to expect Intel to catch up to the NVIDIA and AMD duopoly on their first generation of (modern) cards.
Intel seems to have rightly recognized that the driver advantage is a huge moat for those guys - they have to instead compete on price and focus on having good support for titles that will get them the the biggest chunk of the market.
That said, man, if they could have released these a year ago the wind would have been at their back way more than it is now with GPU prices trending back towards MSRP.
idk man, Intel is one of the biggest richest tech (chip) companies in the world, I don't feel like I have to give them chances. This is pretty unprofessional.
