Sorry if I’m not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

Not getting enough sales, gotta jack up the price so they make the same amount of money. Seems legit.

I mean, you could also say they’ll stop price gouging when competitors can meet their quality and support level. What’s the alternative?

Do you read benchmarks before writing this kind of comment?

AMD is a lot better than before both in terms of hardware and software, far better in fact. For people that don’t buy the top of the line card every other year AMD is a real alternative, more so than in a long time.

I love my 6900XTH, killer chip. if you don’t expect ray tracing it’s an absolute monster. I bought it because it was what was available on the shelf but ultimately I feel like it was the best choice for me. I don’t think I’d buy another nvidia card for a while with the shit they’ve pulled, and I’d previously bought dozens of EVGA nvidia cards.

I just wish FSR2 could be improved to reduce ghosting. it’s already OK so any improvement would make it very good.

The reason nvidia has the r&d budget it has is because you buy their cards. AMD is just now matching them on that but they used to have about half the resources.

I mean, I buy my cards second hand because I’m dirt poor, but I still want the best option for my money. It’s a hard sell to convince people to buy inferior products to expand the market.

Except that most of nvidia’s features are borderline gimmicks or will not have a long lifespan. DLSS will eventually die and we’ll all use FSR just like it happened with gsync vs freesync. Raytracing is very taxing still for all cards in all brands to be worth it. RTX voice (just like AMD noise supression) is not something that useful (I don’t even want it). What else do you have that could make an nvidia card “superior”? The only thing I can think of is that the most recent nvidia cards are way more energy efficient than amd’s.

All of Lemmy and all of Reddit could comply with this without it making a difference.

And the last card I bought was a 1060, a lot of us are already basically doing this.

You have not successfully unionized gaming hardware customers with this post.

Buddy all of reddit is hundreds of millions of people each month. If even a small fraction of them build their own PCs, they’d have a massive impact on nVidia sales

Do you think the majority of nvidia’s customers are redditors?

One less sale is victory enough. It’s one more than before the post.
