NVIDIA Denies EOL Rumors for GeForce RTX 50 Series, Lays Blame on Memory Supply Shortages, While AMD Says It’s Working to Keep Its GPUs at MSRP

Sorry got the name wrong... let's just say by not monopolizing every process node they can.

apple is the one that monopolizes pretty much every process node they use on TSMC, plus it's also reportedly going to use intel 18A process and also sources from Global Foundries for some of its NON-CPU needs.

How the eff... I mean.... I get it. And honestly looking at Apple's new laptops has me going... Hummm... maybe... But it still boggles my mind that they just buy ALL of the freaking production.

cash talks
 
I saw this morning that now MLID is saying his sources are reporting that RTX 50 series is essentially dead in the water for the foreseeable future so that NV can focus on AI and that increased volume for the RTX 5060 8GB is also off the table for now. According to MLID NV is still shipping current inventory but who knows when that will change.

Not even going to post on this since I'm fairly sick of all the rumors, that is unless I see something more credible or interesting. For many years I've seen rumors that did indeed pan out to be true but I have never seen anything like what's happening with NV now. It's one thing for a rumor about a yet unreleased product but something else entirely when current products are involved and the story flips almost weekly, or daily.
 
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I WANT Nvidia to get out of graphics. We really don't need them. I don't see the need for environmentally unfriendly 450W cards, let alone 600W ones. Let's just be happy with 350W AMD cards since they are the only ones who seem to not want to abandon gamers. Even Intel is shipping the B70 but not the B770 for gamers so we can rule them out too. And don't forget that it's been AMD in consoles since the Xbox One/PS4 generation. Honestly, everyone else can get the EFF out of this space. The visuals are good enough and hopefully AMD won't be a total dick as long as Lisa is at the helm.

And before anyone wants to defend Nvidia, please note that the current situation is Nvidia's doing because they created CUDA which led to LLMs and now the whole world's economy and sanity is in jeopardy because greedy people think that unbelievably expensive and wasteful gigawatt eating data centers basically parroting stuff from written knowledge by actual intelligent human authors is going to make humanity better. FFS people. Just READ books and use your brains DAMMIT!
 
There was a time I would've defended them on some level but not anymore. I am happy with my 5090s but do undervolt them and rarely see more than 350W getting used, usually in the 200s. I giggle a lot when playing games on the 9800X3D rig with one, because my total system draw is often in gaming laptop range while being very quiet and cool. The 5800X3D rig is a little less effecient (same PSU though) but not by much.

Beyond that, yeah, I'm pretty content with the level of visual IQ we have now and no longer obsessed with a big leap forward. When I play Indiana Jones, CP2077, TW3 next gen w/ Halk Hogan texture packs, or the recent RE games with quality @200%, I'm plenty happy and don't need more. I just want things to work and be done with all this drama. It's not good for anyone.

Just a few years ago nvidia wasn't even in the top 5 of TSMC customers and was behind AMD. Today it's #2 (but still far from apple) and AFAIK are also going intel foundries.

Well, nVidia isn't TSMC-exclusive either. For instance: Samsung made the entire 3000/Ampere series, and a good chunk of 1000/Pascal series.

I know I've mentioned this before, but I feel the same especially lately. I've had a Steam gift card on my account and can't find a decent game to spend it on. Maybe it's time to enjoy what I have.

I'm weak... Like I'll pre order owlcat stuidio games because I've enjoyed their games. And I've pre ordered the newest forza horizon game... but this year... that might be it for me.
