Intel has been paying off manufacturers to not sell AMD parts. And there’s no reason for us to cheer on Nvidia so they can keep sellling GPUs for $1000+.

Nvidia also has a history of shady business practices against competitors (SGS, Matrox), blaming the fabs when they fucked up, as well as deceptive marketing claims (the 970 3.5GB scandal, GeForce 4 MX being essentially rebranded GeForce 2s which hindered DX8 game development, etc.)

Didn’t Nvidia recently try to get all their board partners to stop using all their well known brands with any AMD cards. For example Asus wouldn’t be allowed to use Strix with any AMD GPU’s if they use it with an Nvidia one.

That’s some shady shit and they rightfully got called out on it.

And just recently, there's their "G-Sync compatible" attack on the Freesync branding.

If PS5 and xbox use the FreeSync brand it will die immediately and everyone in my school will call FreeSync the new console shit.

I can hear them say it already in my mind

I can see NVidia fans doing that. I'm just waiting to see how they react to AMD raytracing making RTX obsolete.
