NVidia is shitting the bed so hard it's just ridiculous. It feels almost intentional, like we're starting to leave the area of Hanlon's razor. 😂

Though, remains to be seen what AMD cooks up in this race to the bottom...

I doubt it, the consumer market is a tiny portion of what they sell at this point, they just don't care that much, they just tossed us scraps, that's who is a paper launch with technical difficulties

That's kinda what I meant with "feels intentional". Some manager went "Yeah fuck QA for consumer products, put those 50 people to work on business/AI stuff instead, we make fuck all money from consumers anyways".

The 45% come from the comparison with rx 7900 gre, which is 18% less powerful as AMDs flagship 7900 xt, so the flagship difference isn't as huge.

With every month that passes, I feel ever more infuriated that so many of the programs I use are essentially hard-locked to Nvidia, with frankly miserable performance on other GPUs. Not the cards' fault, the software devs' fault for - when they even bother at all - doing a piss-poor job of integration with other GPUs.

true but nvidia could solve this problem in a day easily. they just have to admit that their business moved on and they make more money with ai. then open source and cc-license all gaming related gpu tech. then the gaming graphics landscape will flourish.

right now they have a walled garden but forgot to build a gate into the wall so it's just there to allow the 10 gpu owners to upload cool 4k Cyberpunk videos

I can't wait for Intel to step up their game and for AMD to reengage. We really need the competition.

Yeah, they think ai crawlers won't be trained on their data if they ask nicely 😂

Its giving off “repost this message on Facebook so that Meta can’t use your comments” energy

I've never given Nvidia a dime and will continue that trend.
