My 3080 will be the last NVIDIA card I own. Especially with the driver situation on Linux.
I’m glad I bought a 2070 super back when they were new and affordable, but Nvidia is never getting another penny from me. I hope, when the AI-bubble inevitably pops, they get forced into bankruptcy.
I probably won’t buy any Nvidia card again too (but never say never). You never want to (yes I contradicted myself right after the previous sentence… sigh) have less competition. I hope Nvidia loses its market leader position and operates head to head with AMD and Intel. BTW this is a similar reasoning as to why I don’t want Xbox to go away from console market, regardless of what you or I think about the company.
Even without Nvidia openly shitting on consumers I wouldn’t buy from them again.
There’s also the dangerously badly designed 12VHPWR connector, selling frame generation as a performance gain, lackluster Linux support, the 4080 having so many known potential compatibility issues that diagnosing a manufacturing defect took me two damn weeks… Honestly, I haven’t seen much quality work from them in the last years.
You mean the arson connector? Shout out to dawid
Sky-high RAM and GPU prices are going to crush game studios.
It’ll also push users toward cloud computing—locked-in subscriptions sold as “convenience.” Most people reading this won’t fall for it, but the wider market will. A few influencers saying it’s good is all it takes.
Start cheap, get people dependent, then hike prices. It works because critical thinking isn’t the norm.
Skill issue. It could be absolutely incredible for quite a few indie games. Make a good game rather than a graphically demanding one.
Why on earth would it hurt the studios? Graphic fidelity hasn’t increased since the new consoles came out over 5 years ago.
Consumers not upgrading hardware would if anything save them money by reducing expectations they outdo their previous games.

If it helps the 9070xt has been ripping through mhWilds
“Nvidia has reportedly cancelled its OPP, a program intended to incentivise AIBs to sell its cards at MSRP.”
Ah, I see. Nvidia is no longer down with OPP.
I mean given the past couple of card launches, especially with this generation, how much would actually be affected.
