    Any person who buys an Nvidia GPU in the current climate should be shunned from the gaming community as a whole.

    The only way for us to send a message to any corporation is with our wallets - and unfortunately, I don’t think most GamersTM have the „intestinal fortitude” necessary; Nvidia’s market share of gaming GPUs has only risen since this current AI bubble began.

      Well, they lose money on every gaming GPU they make that could be used for business class h200 chips that sell for 20x more for the same ram. So I’m not really sure that has the effect you want.

      No, I don’t really care to be honest. They make a bajillion dollars from the other AI companies anyways. And no other GPU manufacturer in Nvidias position would have done anything different.

      If you really want to change something, go the fuck outside and protest or organize, don’t argue with other people what companies they buy from.

      Edit: Obviously, don’t protest about not having enough gaming GPUs, that would be kind of meaningless, but maybe about data centers, privacy rights, wealth inequality, facism etc.
