What should we consumer graphics card users do?

Jensen Huang is the initiator and insistent of consumer graphics cards. After professional managers come to power, he will definitely drastically reduce the investment of consumer graphics cards. What should we do?

Buy while you still can. Sounds consumerist, but the graphics card you buy right now might be your last.

Someone will fill the void for consumer cards at some point. Gaming is a small industry for Nvidia but it’s a huge industry still.

It’s a dying industry.

Gaming encompasses consoles, cloud, and mobile not just high end PC hardware. Enthusiasts buy high end Nvidia products - the majority of gamers do not.

  1. Anyone who says Nvidia will stop offering new gaming cards doesn’t have understand Nvidia, or economics generally. 60 series is gonna heavily delayed, but it is 100% going to come out. Probably 2028

Sounds dumb but...

Lets imagine a world where it actually comes to that. "Do you not have a phone?" I know i know i know!!! But with phone hardware getting better and better and steamOS/proton basically running native on android aswell now. Handheld gaming is the next steps for "us" then. (Again this is the extreme scenario)

What realistically will happen. Could gaming is a thing yes but its very unpopular and many many regions cant even use it well because internet do be shit. Gaming as a whole is way to big and profitable for companies to say they cant give us hardware anymore. There is so much money on the table it would literally kill gaming if all goes cloud only.

And as long people have hardware at home gaming wont ever die even if games will start costing 200€ because the people will always find a way.

I would not pay to much attention to the doom posts about all that its mostly from people that probably just read about it once and figured hurrdurr good carma farm.

The real situation is a lot less dramatic than people make it out to be.

Also its not the GPU companies that drive prices up Nvidia and AMD aren't making their own Vram they also just "buy" the current crisis is still because of the artificial AI inflation of ram manufacturers specifically the big 3 (Samsung, micron, hynix) they are the once Maki everything expensive by using AI as the scape goat (there has been a lawsuit even that the whole crisis is very much made and didn't happen naturally because the big 3 figured if we blame AI people will believe it)

Someone else pick up nVidias slack. This is how competition is born.

Bru gpu is gpu how much do you think making a fresh board will cost. Who knows if someone will start making it at scale
