As long as there are alternatives, I’ll never buy an nvidia product again.

You can tell this image is AI because the guy has three arms but real people only have two
That's not an arm, but it is prehensile

What an amazing middle finger. Very little knuckle, full fingered, fist in anger, lips curling for an expletive. Fucking beautiful form.
I remember the drivers that inspired that finger. Thank fuck for vulkan

You gave me far too many laughs to justify in a simple upvote, thank you. lmao

I can't believe the company pulling through with affordable but powerful graphics cards is Intel.
This is like the season 1 bad guy joining forces against a greater evil.
Do Intel's GPUs still take a hard hit on Linux?
Nvidia did invest in Intel

The history of consumer computing is just looking at all the different ways Nvidia has figured out how to fuck said consumers over
Remember when we had to have a secondary nvidia GPU just to play games?
Remember all of the fucky hacks, install orders, and workarounds we needed to make it work when our main GPU was an AMD card?
Or when it was leaked for the 3rd time that nvidia was paying devs to make their game run worse on AMD hardware?
I don't think they really are out to fuck consumers so much as they are an after after thought.
The consumer space just isn't able to pay what companies are paying and so in the words of Don Draper - 'I don't think about you at all'
What is a bit of a dick move is their consumer division paying lip service and pretending like they matter to the company at all.
I think it's rather telling that there's not a single company that's touching any of these currently insanely overpriced products and going, you know? I think I'm going to prioritize the human customers over the business customers. Sure, we may not make as much money, but we would have truckloads of goodwill and generate thousands of lifelong customers.
And I understand the business reasoning for that, but great businesses are not built by bean counters any more than wars are decided by bullet rations.
Man... The way I see it is if you nail down a small corner of the market, you've won. Like yeah, you've only got 15%, but holy wah you have 15% all to yourself and that 15% is dedicated to you. That's a great outcome. Probably why I'm not a CEO.
Well, I guess I'll just buy my hardware from a different supplie-

That first middle finger went up in 2020 and never came down.
My 2025 pc (before the ram price jumps) is all amd!
And its honestly pretty awesome
And 20gb vram is nice
Not that i think amd is a saint among these types of companies
But compared to Nvidia..?
AMD does the exact same as Nvidia. They're just less successful with it. It doesn't really matter who you buy from in that regard, I think.
Linux GPU drivers would like to have a word...
Is AMD that shit on Linux? Because Nvidia works perfectly fine for me.
Other way round. While NVIDIA works perfectly fine their drivers are proprietary, while AMD has open drivers.

AMD doesn't gate the high vram to be only their top end model. They have generally higher vram across the board.
Whether that's important or not is your choice as a consumer. If you use Blender for example, Nvidia gives you more bang for your buck. It just works much better with those cards. That's simply what the spread sheets say. If you need slightly higher VRAM for different reasons go for something else.
But that's completely besides the argument. Whatever you choose doesn't change the fact that neither of those companies gives a shit about us end consumers. They're barely making any money from us compared to AI companies. They're all in on AI.
