"Jensen sir, 50 series is too hot"

"Easy fix with my massive unparalleled intellect. Just turn off the sensor"

If you needed any more proof that Nvidia is continuing to enshittify their monopoly and milk consumers. Hey lets remove one of the critical things that lets you diagnose a bad card and catch bad situations that might result in gpu deathdoors! Dont need that shit, Just buy new ones every 2 years you poors!

If you buy a Nvidia GPU, you are part of the problem here.

I wonder if there was some other reason for this removal, e.g. I could imagine some change in this generation that could have made the hotspot sensor redundant for some reason.

But yeah it's far more likely to be for the reasons you outlined. Absolutely diabolical.
