The thing is, Nvidia doesn't care. They make way more money from the business sector. More and more businesses don't care about the average consumer, they care about the consumers with deep pockets.
Yeah, but AMD and Nvidia's consumer GPUs don't exist in a vacuum. They are companies with entire portfolios of things to sell. I know people are frustrated and maybe it helps them to downvote, but it's the truth. Nvidia doesn't give a shit about the consumer market now (neither does Samsung, Crucial, etc...). AMD doesn't have the leverage to squeeze the market like Nvidia does, hence the price drop referenced in the article while the price of a 5090 is still going up. I don't know why any gamer would buy Nvidia though. Unless you want to do AI workloads, they've priced themselves out of being reasonable. Heck, even for AI, AMD gives more RAM at a lower cost and ROCM continually gets better.
What, the original comment in this thread is about the comment about AI? Nobody in this comment thread said anything about Linux support other than you just now. You're lost in the thread.
Consumer hardware has always been an R&D recoup for the business sector.
