I would keep in mind one thing with Nvidia. Their consumer GPU market is a drop in the bucket compared to their server, cloud and AI/ML markets. AMD dedicates real effort and resources to their hardware development and they don't lock their features to their own platform. I'm still using a vega56 and haven't really felt a need to upgrade because things like fsr just keep my card chugging along.
I come back to lemmy and i read bullshit like this.
It's true though...consumer graphics mean damn near nothing to them, their AI/ML profits shit all over your precious 4080's and 4090's in regards to straight profit for Nvidia.
Yeah but none of that means they're giving up the consumer space. This is all just conjecture.
They rehash the same chip over and over again each generation with minimal gains, increase the power requirements and cut out third party oems like EVGA. Give it a couple generations and I would bet they'll only be selling the 4080/90 equivalents in the future and let intel or amd have the midrange and low range market, freeing up manufacturing for their AI/ML hardware. Doesn't matter if it's conjecture, the writing is on the wall. People are choosing to ignore it even though the market is flooded with low end Nvidia cards made to look like their low and midrange offerings aren't selling. It's only a matter of time, the consumer graphics market is a second class citizen for Nvidia.
