Gamers, Windows is an AI-polluted cesspool and NVIDIA is actively abandoning you for AI.
Switch to Linux, sell your NVIDIA card and buy an AMD card instead and enjoy home computing and gaming again.
Show me how to run my racing and flying sims with my Pimax Crystal and DFR on Linux and I’ll switch tonight. The HTPC is the last windows machine I have
The day is coming, my friend. I’m in the same boat. I have to admit that its because I’ve been too lazy to sort things out on Linux for my Fanatec gear.
All my time is dedicated to home studio recording lately so I haven’t played games in weeks anyway.
Intel and AMD:
Gamers will then continue to ignore AMD and Intel and bitch about no Ngidia stock and inflated prices, just as they always have
I hate how true this is.
Yay AMD can raise prices. :(
The supply of 4000-series cards started to dry up when they shifted production to prepare for the 5000-series launch, then the 5000s launched with low stock anyway, and now they’re going to reduce production of those. I wonder they’ve done the math on how much gaming’s low share of the company’s revenue is due to there not being cards for people to buy.
The issue isn’t share of revenue (well not directly), the issue is lower margins for gaming GPUs and a more complex distribution network (involvement of AIBs, retailers).
Do that, get fucked by it.
Won’t someone think of the generated frames?
Sounds like owners of their RTX GPUs are to expect drivers even worse than they have been since December, for the cherry on top.
