No, I think Dan is right. I think nVidia's "failure to produce" is a direct result of them knowing that you will pretty much pay anything for their latest product, and you will wait however long it takes them to getting around to making them - because you aren't going anywhere else. They are...

I went from a 980 to a 3080. Not looking to upgrade this generation either, from either team. My son though, he has a RX 5600, I think - maybe even an older RX560. He's probably due, but he doesn't care if his games run at 27 FPS, apparently... so I'm not buying him a new GPU. He's old enough...

That used to be true in my house, but that was also when there was a sub-$200 market and top-end was $700. But the last few, it's been more like every 3 or 4 generations...

I don't really care if a game developer wants to make their game all DEI/Woke/Affirmative Action/Inclusive/whatever label you want to put at it. I mean - I don't have to buy it or play it. Sometimes it's fun just reading about all the blowback. My wife was playing the latest Dragon Age, and it...

Certainly explains the state of the 5000 series

The not-funny-but-funny part is nVidia 100% knows about the ROP issue, and did it anyway figuring people just wont care It would be one thing if they had distinguished it via a different SKU - but they just tried to sweep it entirely under the rug.

Oh god No

sad but true Not to fear, our best programmers are all on H1B visas from asia. So its like it came directly from asia, only it costs more!

I admit - I have bought a system to play an exclusive. And i would do it again, for the right game. That said, nothing in the past several years has risen to that for me If that sounds rediculous - keep in mind a lot of folks here talk about throwing down 2-4x the price of a console on GPUs...

Oh man. Sorry for all you folks that had your heart set on these. The Shuffle started out innocent enough, but turned into a crapfest of overpriced combos full of random junk they can't give away any other way. The real pain is this "shortage" is entirely intentional, I'm absolutely convinced...

I didn’t even realize GPU-accelerated PhysX was still a thing, and these older games, well… given how much faster hardware is do they still require hardware acceleration?

Well, if your dies can pull double duty as a very high margin AI-specific product... and you are selling all you can of the high margin parts... then your "consumer level" SKUs are only going to get hand-me-downs and the marginally acceptable bins.

I would say there is a fine line between "Windows 11 stops support entirely" and "OEMs shouldn't build new SKUs with these" This article seems to be pointing to the latter, not the former.

Circling the drain. I don't think Xbox should die, so don't get me wrong - but, you'd think you would start out with this philosophy, rather than coming to this conclusion some 25 years later.

Because they suck, or they struck a deal with Intel behind the curtain, or they don't have some new required widget?

Yeah, MSRPs hadn't skyrocketed (yet), but what I really had in mind during that era were people buying GPUs by the crate-load, no matter what the price was. Everyone was just looking at a perceived ROI and going bonkers on that thinking that return was always gonna be there, rather than thinking...

True. I just can't ever get mine to come loose when I want them to come out, and the angle that they plug into my monitors I can't get my fingers on the stupid tab because it's facing the monitor, not out - I have to get a pair of needle noses or something to get it pushed in.

This sounds like rumor-mongering to keep the FOMO real and prices high right before AMD's release. Even if it is true - I have to question if the demand is really there at those prices. Sure, they may be selling out, but ... if you had enough cards to satisfy the demand, how far off from that...
