NVIDIA Killed The Sport!

I didn't say it was amazing or not, I was just replying with the figure so people can see. :)

But I still don't see how it was a let down. They said mid-range GPU only this time around and that was we got. Also they will never match Nvidia and their marketing shenanigans or their budget and ability to throw money at devs, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that AMD's list is smaller. It would be nice to see older FSR titles brought up-to-date though, for sure. Let's see what cards come out Q2 2026. That might scratch your itch for a faster AMD card. Yeah, giving money to Nvidia at the moment is just feeding the monster, although we must remember no company is "our" (as consumers) friend.

Oh I know dude, I wasn't saying you did, I'm just speaking in general :) so sorry if that came across wrong or rude, that's my mistake if so!

I just think it's a shame, as it's such a wasted opportunity, they could have played catchup with FSR3/3.1 and by the time FSR4 came out, had a massive back catalogue for the 9XXX series, and that would have made up for the laziness of not offering a high end card.
By not giving us that, it gives me zero faith they will update the other games.

I also think that it does damage to their loyal customers by not offering high end alternatives, because not everyone wants to jump ship to Nvidia or Intel, but when the hardware on offer doesn't do what you need from it.
I know it's a great mid range card, but it's no 5080/5090.

I used to methodically upgrade my PC at regular intervals. A new GPU every one to two years and a new CPU every three to four. But NVIDIA really have killed the habit! Their greed has pushed me to question what I was doing and from now on I am upgrading when essential, not just for the heck of it.
You bit the hand feeding you NVIDIA.

Well, you were at fault also, giving money to a GPU maker even if it wasn't essential.
 
Nvidia will eventually move out of gaming GPU's if AI keeps going the way it is. Selling to large companies and data centers is much less hassle and has a far larger profit margin.

does ai even make money? i mean for people other than nvidia who created the market and sells the product everyone wants for the reason of more ai power! i dont see much coming out of this great ai bubble apart from demand for components i need for gaming and massive energy usage, sure thatwill help climate change :D how much coal do we need to burn so grok can make waifus?

This is it , the Ai bubble will bust and Nvidia will come crawling back to gaming.

It's a nice bubble with some shady business practices like circular financing. I can't think of any example, other than nVIDIA, that is making money right now. Everything goes into "future earnings". We'll see.
 
Until AMD comes up with something to rival or exceed CUDA I am stuck with Nvidia, there is no loyalty to brand, just the tools I need. I recently switched from an i7 10980XE to a Ryzen 9900x and am very happy.

Sounds like someone has run out of cash :p
 
Well I've skipped the 5000 series so far, nothing compelling there. The 5090 would be were it not for melting plugs, crashing drivers, black screens, etc.

But just no need at 1440p right now. Got an OLED monitor instead.

I kind of look at nvidia top 90 series cards like the 4090/5090 as being a titan replacement with titan prices.

So something like this
Titan XP/V/RTX = RTX5090
1080ti = RTX 5080
