I just hope NVIDIA just give up and leave the market tbh.

Or how about:
Nvidia leave the gaming GPU market for even crazier margins in AI.
Nvidia in their usual fashion manager to alienate their big AI customers - and not just on costs.
One or more of the big players currently doing their own AI-only ASICs starts selling those to others.
The GPU AI market collapses.
Nvidia come crawling back to the gaming GPU market.
The GPU market is now 50/50 AMD and Intel.
Nvidia have to live on <10% marketshare.

Poetic justice?

They’re anti-consumer aren’t they by building in obsolescence to their gpus with low vram amounts? Aren’t we better off without them?

How are we better off without them? AMD don’t drive any advancements currently, they shadow Nvidia. AMD had the golden opportunity to steel a victory this round with their cost efficient chiplet design, did they do it? Not a chance, the two companies are as bad as each other.

The only card this round to me worth anything, and it is still overpriced is the 4090.

You’re probably right. I retract my statement..;)

Yes, I had heard that things are picking up. It's interesting because it does mean that there are buyers there, but they are perhaps more price influenced than NVIDIA and Mini-Me-AMD realised.

I certainly do hope that AMD gain some market share, although they don't really deserve it. They have been terribly slow to take advantage of NVIDIA's blunder.

nvidia's valuation continues to increase quite rapidly. It's now valued at over US$1T. The people at decision-making levels in nvidia have gained even more wealth and status and power will continue to do so. There is no blunder. Not in the context of wealth, status and power, which is the only context that matters in the dominant socio-economic system.

Love this take.

It's not even remotely close.

AMD while no saint is no where near Nv levels of **** housing anyone and everyone they do business with, especially their own user base.

Nvidia are ruthless to the point of bad to the bone, that's why they are top dog, AMD in the dgpu space is Nvs burst baw they just like toying with.

AMD are top dog in AAA gaming though and holding the leash.

Nvidia are.. well Nvidia and they do what they do for the shareholders simple as that.

The question is whether that difference is inherent in the companies or due to nvidia having such total market superiority. I think it's the latter, so I think AMD would be the same if they could. I also think that nvidia could remove AMD from the market entirely but won't because AMD is useful to nvidia. Obvious monopolies tend to attract unwanted attention, so it's in nvidia's best interests to allow AMD to continue being in the market as long as AMD is a toothless pet dog for nvidia content to have the scraps nvidia saves for it. Which is also why I think it's extremely unlikely that AMD will ever make any serious challenge to nvidia. To do that they'd need an objectively and significantly superior product and be willing to bet the company on beating nvidia. I think the home dGPU market is nowhere near big enough for that to happen even if AMD did develop such a product and did have the willingness to bet the company on beating nvidia. So I think AMD will continue to do nothing much in the home dGPU market, taking care to not really compete with nvidia and instead focusing on areas where AMD is top dog or at least a big dog. Maybe there's an informal agreement between nvidia and AMD to agree territory. A lot of stuff is done quietly at the golf club or wherever.

Well, yes, of course you are right. We are worthless paupers!

They should break off their gaming division and set it afloat as a different concern.
