I think I bought my gaming rig on whim with 32gig and Nvidia before the shitty RAM prices at least.
Even in 24 or so it sucked how much of the total price the medium awesome gfx card was.
How much is this now, do these cards exist? Artificial scarcity?
just orderd amd videcard 20 years nividia 4 difrant computers last one lasted 8 or 10 years 1060 ad now amd 7090 feels rong but fuck nividia not listing to gamers and going ale in on ai and data vcenters
That first middle finger went up in 2020 and never came down.
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
"I'll never root for Al Swearengen. Shame on that man!" vibes.
You gave me far too many laughs to justify in a simple upvote, thank you. lmao
Omfg take my upvotes.
You can tell this image is AI because the guy has three arms but real people only have two
Also the too few fingers per hand.
Maybe he needed he still the other fingers for a gpu or Ram?
That's not an arm, but it is prehensile
I remember the drivers that inspired that finger. Thank fuck for vulkan
What an amazing middle finger. Very little knuckle, full fingered, fist in anger, lips curling for an expletive. Fucking beautiful form.
Beat me to it!!! Classic!

Nvidia always has been the biggest dick around hardware manufacturers
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.
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?
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
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.
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...
Wake me up when Linux GPU drivers become components you can buy for building a Pc.
What does that even mean? They are part of the components you buy
AMD doesn't gate the high vram to be only their top end model. They have generally higher vram across the board.
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.
