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.

[–] yoru77@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

Do Intel's GPUs still take a hard hit on Linux?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Nvidia did invest in Intel

You can tell this image is AI because the guy has three arms but real people only have two

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Also the too few fingers per hand.

[–] Kjell@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Maybe he needed he still the other fingers for a gpu or Ram?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago

That's not an arm, but it is prehensile

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 7 points 10 hours ago

I remember the drivers that inspired that finger. Thank fuck for vulkan

[–] darthsundhaft@piefed.social 2 points 8 hours ago

Beat me to it!!! Classic!

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

What an amazing middle finger. Very little knuckle, full fingered, fist in anger, lips curling for an expletive. Fucking beautiful form.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

More like pre 2025 and post 2025

Nvidia always has been the biggest dick around hardware manufacturers

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, but NVIDIA used to be at least somewhat affordable. Now it feels like you have to get a credit check in order to buy any type of their components.

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..?

[–] Airfried@piefed.social 13 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] carrylex@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Linux GPU drivers would like to have a word...

Wake me up when Linux GPU drivers become components you can buy for building a Pc.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

AMD doesn't gate the high vram to be only their top end model. They have generally higher vram across the board.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They did but do their latest cards have an option for 24gb like my 7900xtx?

I like them for Linux support but I don't doubt they would start doing the same crap if they could break CUDAs strangle hold on the ML LLM space

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I don't know. I'm still using my 7900XT with 20GB. For my home server I just bought an Intel Arc Pro B70 32GB.

[–] alpine_jim@piefed.social 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

yeah the main reason AMD isn't quite as price-gouged is that ROCm isn't quite as in demand as CUDA for non-gaming uses for GPUs.

The history of consumer computing is just looking at all the different ways Nvidia has figured out how to fuck said consumers over

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Well, I guess I'll just buy my hardware from a different supplie-

sound of twin-engine B-52 Tariff Bomber zooming overhead, as wallet buster economic sanctions whistle towards their targets

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 10 points 15 hours ago

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?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

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.
