    I can’t believe the company pulling through with affordable but powerful graphics cards is Intel.

    This is like the season 1 bad guy joining forces against a greater evil.

    More like pre 2025 and post 2025

    Nvidia always has been the biggest dick around hardware manufacturers

      Yeah, but NVIDIA used to be at least somewhat affordable. Now it feels like you have to get a credit check in order to buy any type of their components.

      What an amazing middle finger. Very little knuckle, full fingered, fist in anger, lips curling for an expletive. Fucking beautiful form.

      AMD does the exact same as Nvidia. They’re just less successful with it. It doesn’t really matter who you buy from in that regard, I think.

      Remember when we had to have a secondary nvidia GPU just to play games?

      Remember all of the fucky hacks, install orders, and workarounds we needed to make it work when our main GPU was an AMD card?

      Or when it was leaked for the 3rd time that nvidia was paying devs to make their game run worse on AMD hardware?

      Billionaires love when you think you can only vote with your wallet. They have many, many more votes than you. Nvidia doesn’t give two shits about your wallet compared to the ones paying them to fill datacenters.

          I went AMD when I bought my new computer 3 years ago! (Not that they’re much better at all!)

          Hoping cheap Chinese GPUs and RAM catch up soon!

      The sales of consumer GPUs make up a veeeery tiny percentage of nvidias revenue. Nvidia could stop selling consumer GPUs tomorrow and it wouldn’t even make a noticeable dent in their revenues. And what other options do u really have? Any other company ain’t much better.

      voting with your wallet

      I’m terrified how many people think buying and selling stuff is moral, civic, and democratic duty. Econ 101 doesn’t even work in economics, why are we applying it to everything?

      We don’t have the money to back up our vote in this ‘election’. If you could even call it that. Capitalism isn’t a democratic process.

          If you genuinely think they care about making a mere thousand bucks on a lumpy graphics card then you have been sleeping under a rock. Their costumers are Amazon, Microslop and Meta. Not you or me.

            I am perfectly aware but that does not mean you should continue to buy from them, they still make money from them and they are evil as fuck also, when companies will inevitably start to buy less from Nvidia, it will be a problem for them
