    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.
