Windows 11 Suck Edition - When you said we couldn't make a worse OS than Windows 11 our engineers said "Hold my beer ...." and brought you Windows 11 SE

Actually it is against US and EU law for Nvidia to force an AIB to sell at MSRP which should be obvious since it is the Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price All Nvidia, AMD and Intel can control is the price of the IC and nothing else since that is the only component they make The bad guys are...

Intel and AMD don't do PhysX either and never ever have. And it's only 32 bit PhysX 64 bit PhysX still works just fine

Isn't it actually up to the AIBs which brand they use? All Nvidia does is verify it is good enough and will work so they likely verified Samsung first, then SK Hynix and likely Micron too. Ultimately it is up to the AIB which manufacturers they buy from as long as the memory has been certified...

What no one is mentioning is EUV technology is owned and licensed by the US Government. Imagine sinking billions more into the new technology only to have a wannabe world dictator like Trump yank that license away because you hurt his feelings? Bottom line is the main reason they aren't going...

The problem is Nvidia doesn't make a penny more whether the finished product sells for MSRP or twice MSRP all Nvidia makes is the money for the main chip itself. In fact it loses them money in the long run because they sell fewer GPU ICs. Nvidia doesn't make or sell heatsinks or fans or MOSFET...

It says system integrator right in the title

He sounds like a jilted boyfriend ...... sheesh I've known for years that site was worthless and misleading but I never knew the site owner was a couple cards short of a full deck ..... until now

It also says a leaker and they are about as reliable as a ex-convict ...... There are no RT cores on their data center products so they simply cannot be made into 5090 devices.

You can't really change up VRAM amount much because it is set on the buss width. For instance a 256 bit will only support 8, 16 and 32 GB. A 192 bit bus only supports 6, 12, and 24 GB So all could they do is go to 32 GB on most models and that would just be a waste of money for gaming.

That's complete BS because the GB200 chips have no RT cores plus a GB200 is actually two chips mounted on a high speed substrate. None of that is compatible with a 5090. Now they might be using the blank wafers intended for the GB200 but no way are they using GB200 dies that have already been...

Nvidia isn't overcharging the board venders are the ones overcharging. Say the chip in the 5090 costs $500 then that is all Nvidia will get no matter if the vendor/retailer sells it for $2000 or $3000 all Nvidia's cut is $500. It amazes me how so many people don't have a clue as to how business...

No doubt the supply will be constrained because they only started producing the chips for the 5090 and 5080 a couple of weeks ago after spending all of October, November, and December cranking out B100 and B200 chips. I know this because Nvidia said so in their Investor Guidance reports last...

Gaming revenue 2000 - $43 billion Gaming revenue 2013 - $85 billion Gaming Revenue 2021 - $190 billion Gaming Revenue 2023 - $182 billion 2021 is the peak by a considerable amount.

Actually DLSS is TAA but using a neural network to do the temporal math. A game has to support TAA in order for DLSS to work
