I genuinely cant even remember the last nvidia card I bought... MX440 I think? (My old laptop did come with a 1050 QT, but its not like I had much choice in that, being a laptop and all..)

Not for lack of interest, its just..every time I've had to replace a GPU, AMD was the better bang for buck option.

Course, most of that interest came from them monopolizing tech.. Like buying Ageia and getting rid of the dedicated card and integrating it onto their gpus, so only nvidia could use fancy PhysX stuff..

Its why my laptop is still on windows 10

Cause the last time I tried to put linux on it (admittedly this was like..6 years ago), it was an absolute fucking nightmare.. 75% of the reason being the goddamn graphics card, and 25% of the reason being piss poor power management that ruined my battery after a week of trying to get it to work before giving up.

its also why my desktop is all AMD, just for the lack of headache with linux. Don't even have to do any driver purges or reformats when I changed cards.

but with Windows 10 getting ended soon, I guess I'm gonna have to roll the dice again and see how far nvidia support has come because I'll rather be fucked by a elephant than use 11.
