I've been kind of conflicted lately. On one hand, Nvidia produces high end chips that meet the demand. But on the other hand, they just suck. Some of the chips you can't even buy if your not some corporate client, or whatever you have to do to qualify. But even if you could, who in their right mind would spend 10 grand on one GPU. Because of this, the overall tech community seems to hate them because of this. But, many other places (the media, etc) heap insane amounts of praise on them for producing "cutting edge" chips for AI. Can they not see how overpriced they are for everything? Even for gaming. The new 4000 series largely marketed towards gamers, is also considered insanely overpriced. They are beginning to face competition in that area, with Intel and AMD having released budget options that have come close to rivaling the flagship Nvidia GPUs. Close. Nvidia still dominates, but how can they not realize that they are going to DIE if they do not bring down their prices. It can be done. The Intel Arc series is around 200 dollars (even less). Intel Arc does not do very well on the performance side, it runs games mostly as well as chips from a couple years ago. But still, 200 dollars? So here I ask, what the hell is up with Nvidia?
