      If you genuinely think they care about making a mere thousand bucks on a lumpy graphics card then you have been sleeping under a rock. Their costumers are Amazon, Microslop and Meta. Not you or me.

        I am perfectly aware but that does not mean you should continue to buy from them, they still make money from them and they are evil as fuck also, when companies will inevitably start to buy less from Nvidia, it will be a problem for them

          Okay so you’ve been sleeping under a rock so let me explain. You’re basically saying to not buy GPUs full stop because all those companies are terrible. But even if Nvidia sold 0 consumer GPUs for the rest of the year it wouldn’t affect them. Virtually all their stock value comes from the industry going full AI slop and no consumer choice we make with our tiny baby wallets can make them change course now. There is not enough money in the end consumer PC parts market for them to actually care because AI companies pay them so much more.

            So paying the worst of the worse companies is okay for you? Hell nah, that’s bullshit
            Also, the AI bubble will not survive forever, it will eventually end and if Nvidia loses it’s place in the consumer market, it will be half dead

        They would absolutely care if their audience flocked to AMD.

        Graphics cards are still roughly ten percent of their revenue, that is not a lot, i’ll give you that, but they are a stable income. When this AI demand inevitably dries up it would definitely still be in their interest to not have alienated the entire gaming community that made them in the first place and that Nvidia as of right now still dominate.

        They won’t be handing that to AMD. If for no other reason than to not give them the financial means to chase them down in the AI space as well.
