Really trying their best to ruin any lingering reputation they might have had in the gaming community!
Nvidia has been shitty for years, yet the vast majority of gamers still refuse to buy AMD or Intel instead.
The B580 should have been the best-selling card in the industry. It's price/performance was spectacular.
Yes but the only time I got an AMD GPU it was the biggest waste of time energy and money I had ever spent. The only reason why I have an Nvidia card now is because it broke. This one's running on the same system and can handle anything I throw at the damn 6 year-old card.
I completely agree that Nvidia is one of the least consumer-friendly companies, but for a long time they have simply offered the better features like DLSS and RT efficiency. And depending on the tier of card you're buying, that is also the case in terms of raw performance, even now.
AMD and Intel also has their share of shitty practices, so it's not like you either buy from "the good guys" or "the bad guys". They're all corporations that would, and do, happily screw you over if it means more money.
I agree though. While there are some valid reasons for buying an Nvidia GPU, a lot of people keep buying them simply because they're used to it or that they're already popular. If something like the 9070 XT, or any weaker cards, would meet your needs then you should seriously consider looking elsewhere than Nvidia.
Why would they care?
There are specialized chips in development that have ve already proved to be faster, cheaper, and less power hungry. The second they become generally available, any new data center not using them would be foolish.
That being said, we are talking about gamers who will just continue to buy Nvidia in the future despite how awful they treat us.
Why would Nvidia release them?
They can continue to make current-gen chips and charge outrageous premiums. Why would they ever go to the trouble and expense of tooling for a new die when people are buying what they have now for (nearly) any price?
