    I’m glad I bought a 2070 super back when they were new and affordable, but Nvidia is never getting another penny from me. I hope, when the AI-bubble inevitably pops, they get forced into bankruptcy.

      Even without Nvidia openly shitting on consumers I wouldn’t buy from them again.

      There’s also the dangerously badly designed 12VHPWR connector, selling frame generation as a performance gain, lackluster Linux support, the 4080 having so many known potential compatibility issues that diagnosing a manufacturing defect took me two damn weeks… Honestly, I haven’t seen much quality work from them in the last years.

      I probably won’t buy any Nvidia card again too (but never say never). You never want to (yes I contradicted myself right after the previous sentence… sigh) have less competition. I hope Nvidia loses its market leader position and operates head to head with AMD and Intel. BTW this is a similar reasoning as to why I don’t want Xbox to go away from console market, regardless of what you or I think about the company.

      Largest company in the world. They aren’t going bankrupt in our lifetime, bubble or no.

            And their entire value is based on them having committed all their future shovels for the next 8 years. So what happens when all those contracts are cancelled because the buyers are bankrupt?

              not saying the stock price won’t plummit, just that nvidia won’t be the one holding bags when the dust settles

      Nvidia might be the only company not losing a dime after the bubble pops.

      The ones selling AI (GPT, Grok, Google, MS) are losing hundreds of billions but companies like Google and MS have lots of money to burn. GPT and Grok don’t.
