nvidia crapped on its retail consumers during COVID, and gouged us all in favour of short-term crypto buyers. Then they ignored us all for the next generation in favour of AI buyers. No other consumer manufacturer can compete with their CUDA functionality, but gamers are desperate to jump ship, and the second software CUDA appears, or AMD provides an industry-adopted alternative, I'll give nvidia the middle finger and never look back.
As it is, even though the 4090 provides excellent performance, which I would LOVE to have, I'd sooner tear my own testicles off than give nvidia more of my money. I'm certain that many other gamers and prosumers will also be reducing their upgrade frequency. Perhaps nvidia doesn't care - after all. $2000 in one go, is better for them than spread over three purchases, but in terms of their value, a consumer slow down, coupled with the burst of the AI bubble will hopefully devastate them. I'd love to see them at .1% of their former value. Then they can come crawling back to US for sales.
If games publishers REALLY want to serve their players, they'll optimise games to run on mid-tier 2000 series cards rather than this constant push for higher power with recklessly optimised games like Cyberpunk, Cities: Skylines and Starfield.
