We'll agree to disagree. I have seen the benchmark videos of its performance.

Just what is NVIDIA up to?

Have you seen benchmarks with updated drivers? Intel have made huge strides.
Yes. There are still tonnes of DX9 and 11 games that are not running well.
RTX 4080 for £650 and Jensen is back on my Christmas card list.
I'll send him one too if he does that!

NVIDIA don't care about Gaming Right now & it shows in their Finances Profit share & launches
Gaming GPU's give them less < 15% of their profit where as A.I, Automotive, Servers is rest
Those above sectors need lot less handle holding & support as their are Enterprise customers not some kid in a bedroom. yes they will need support but different kind supported by real engineers
you don't need to support every game that comes out, just the technologies, the customer does the rest
My prediction is we will only get what they designed for one of those markets going forward & if it works decently that's a bonus.
Driver support for GeForce will drop a little as efforts change. Everything will leverage A.I for Speed their will be positives & negatives. give it 5-8 years and drivers will be A.I generated
the only way NVIDIA gaming survives as we know it (created directly for gaming) is If NVIDIA GeForce spilt of as a different business
when you have stuff like this
Nvidia gains $185bn in value after predicting AI-driven boom in chip demand
why bother with Gaming? gaming only ever offered Nvidia one thing. bragging rights to show what they can do & to tell their bosses to buy an A1000
now Their so many examples of NVIDIA tech that dont need to happen.
^ Whilst im not an nvidia fanboy, used NVIDIA since the 6600GT & only use their cards now for DLSS/RTX
always gone for speed over brand, & AMD only ever really won in 7970 era ( and 3 of mine died)
I'm now boycotting NVidea after their dodgy shenanigans this generation, they're going to have to come up with something VERY special in the future to get my custom back.
I'm building a new machine at the end of the year in two parts - the main build (a 7800X3D, 64GB of DDR5) at the end of the year and either a 6950XT, 7800XT or a 7900XT in May next year, depending on price/performance.
I haven't owned an AMD card since 2008 when I bought the 2GB version of the 4870, which all this time later is STILL the best GPU I've ever bought.
With a bit of luck the prices of these things will have come down more by then, I'll have around £800 or so to spend, so maybe I'll be able to afford to get a 7900XTX by then?

What are you going to do, buy an AMD card?

That's what I'm doing, hence my post above.

And I'm sure that I won't be the only one.
Man of Honour
It will get even more so when AMD release FSR 3, and you can bet that Intel will have a version too since AMD's FSR3 will only work on AMD hardware so no sharing here like FSR2.
If anyone thinks that this won't amplify when both the other vendors have their FG tech out then they're out of touch with reality. AMD will be pushing even harder into their own sponsored games, they don't really have a winning battle currently as they don't have any card that can compete with Nvidia on anything other than price. And Intel are not targeting the high end segment yet, or even mid upper range. But throw FSR3 or Intel's FG tech into the mix and you suddenly have lower end cards from Intel that can match or most likely beat Nvidia's lower 40 series cards fairly easily thanks to Intel's continued advances in driver optimisation unlocking more performance. AMD will then also market to hell and back FSR 3 which only works on AMD and shows off on AMD sponsored games getting higher fps than Nvidia who can only make use of FSR in those games and no frame gen...

Looks like the Pulse XT is getting heat
No. Not buying anything!
I've been an upgrader for many years, buying at least one new card every two years, but the behaviour of NVIDIA has stopped my in my tracks. I refuse to bow to their greed. The AMD offerings are just as disappointing.
Where this goes in the future, I'm not sure. That's why I'm so interested in trying to work out what they're up to. If NVIDIA continues their policy of offering lower quality products at hugely inflated prices, then I think I have bought my last upgrade. From now on, I will just buy a new PC when the old one breaks.

this is what happens when one company dominates the performance crown. they set the prices and play the market, and people continue to buy since there is no competitive alternative. all eyes are on intel now with battlemage since rdna4 is already rumored to be a failure.
Really? What have you read?
Random posts on reddit and wccftech articles which obviously means its all true.
It's a 4070 level card and worth max £500.RTX 4080 for £650 and Jensen is back on my Christmas card list.

Only in your mind tbh.
Nvidia haven’t said that and neither has AMD in relation to their XT card

What?
They may not have said it but they use the chip historically used for the xx70s in the past for it.Only in your mind tbh.

Firstly this is not aimed at any specific forumer, but no amount of lamenting is going to change that is it? Secondly, just find the constant AMD/Nvidia shortchanging their customers is getting tiring- they are doing it and don’t seem to care? (You either accept and buy or vote with your wallet and don’t)

Gamers are at the end of the C-Level meeting agenda at NVIDIA and probably get 5-10 minutes.
“Are gamers still buying over expensive cards?”
“yes”
“Good, next topic.”
NVIDIA focus is AI and cloud compute which is what the market analyst likes now and reacts to. The market couldn’t care less if gamers buy NVIDIA cards or not as long as they are a leader in AI, that’s where the future is that’s where the money is.
This is the buzz word now everything you see and hear is all about AI. I work in Tech and this where a lot of focus is now for new product development.
