It works exactly as designed and therefore must be dismantled and rebuilt from scratch.

Yep, and Tesla makes only a fraction of the cars that even a single one of those other car companies make…

That is called a bubble

Nvidia is a bubble the size of a fucking gas giant. Once that pops, and it will, soon, expect the world economy to pop with it

I remember like a decade ago when Nvidia made the most power efficient cards. It was a glorious time. Those generations were so good there was barely even any power differential between desktop and laptop, even phones and consoles were riding high, you could get cards that were affordable, quiet, powerful, pick any three. Maxwell-2 in particular and other similar generation cards around that early-to-mid 2010s era felt like really elegant and finely-tailored designs while AMD was desperately throwing more power at their problems and creating blast furnaces that doubled as graphics processors just so they could say on paper that they were competitive.

Then it all changed. Bitcoin exploded, AMD’s cards were so aggressively mediocre at mining that they weren’t even in the competition, so Nvidia got handed the whole market on a silver platter. And then they realized if they could get the hash rate high enough they could charge whatever they wanted and power consumption just ceased to matter since the cards were literally printing money. And that was the end of that. They found it was so profitable to chase those industrial-scale customers that they’ve never really looked back and now they’re riding the AI bubble into the stratosphere. It’s going to be a long fucking fall, that’s all I can say. And most gamers will be pointing and laughing all the way. Fuck Nvidia. I don’t even care who has faster performance or better value anymore, I’m using Linux and supporting AMD on principle.

There’s always money in the leather jacket stand.
