News Nvidia gaming GPUs an afterthought as AI generates mountains of cash — RTX 50-series shortages mentioned, not explained

And that my friend is the myth. People work on companies because the system is designed to be exploitive and could not function otherwise, the value or gain is between the cost of labor.l/production and sale in the market often to the same labor that produced, that’s why it is exploitive, and that gap is where wealth is derived and accumulated. While you are the producer you do not own the means of production someone else does. We don’t need to guess what exploitive means we know the meaning.

The myth of the owner as such of taking great risk, is a narrative sold to labor to keep the system going, and not question that exploitation … more often then notpeople with the means are not using their own funds they are again utilizing capital that labor parks into the system either through taxation , the banking system and deposits, and beyond that others don’t have means to access or the privilege to acces. The question is always access it’s not a matter of risk taking but access and knowledge. That’s the biggest difference. When Elon musk brought twitter what you think he wrote a check for $44 billion dollars?. But we are moving away from the original topic which is nvidia is exploiting is position to the detriment of consumers and competition.

I am just going to leave it there by saying I vehemently disagree, and that this is not a matter of opinion, but of fact. Have a nice day.

Capitalism is one of those things that's easy to criticize but hard to surpass. I think some critics are more interested in waxing poetic about its ills than finding and highlighting solutions, much less actually doing anything to support or enact them.

I think we all have a choice either to play the cynic and spread the disease of apathy or try to find and promote solutions to the problems we see. Personally, I have little time for those who choose to indulge in cynicism.

Let’s not go down that rabbit hole Alice. If you’ve already decided it can’t be surpassed and we agree at its root amplifies its flaws by design … what’s there to discuss. Imagine it’s 1797 and George could be king or could walk away give up power and set precedent and amplify the ideals of democracy? We’ll ignore the other life choices that are stark contradiction to democratic ideals … for the moment . But the solution is in the beliefs not the system. There is no incentive beyond one’s belief system to willingly give up power and refuse the trappings of power and exploitation.

But I agree this discussion is veering into the philosophical BxSx that doesn’t practically address the topic is Nvidia gonna fix this GPu shortage in the consumer space or is Nvidia not.

Do so, and leave with this thought on principle no one is guaranteed anything neither a pay check or a successful business. The risk is solely in the ability of the individual to succeed in their particular endeavor.

I don't think that a company as big as NVidia is in the business of customer loyalty. They are in the business of making money. So even if eliminating their gaming GPU division upsets some people, I don't think they care if it's what makes the most fiscal sense. I'm not sure I would disagree with it either, especially if I were a shareholder. I would want them to do whatever they need to do to make me the most money and not lose money at the risk of offending a group of people who play games. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk. Does it suck? Yes. Do I hate that's the way things work? Yes.

Nvidia just hit a record year in revenue, with data center sales bringing in most of the money. However, it seems that the gaming segment is being ignored in favor of its AI business.

Regardless, due to past history, yet another abomination launch (RTX50) was imminent.
Purchasing a RTX4070 ti super November 2024 for $800.00 was a wise move. At least for me. This time.

I mentioned the issue with public awareness of the underlying dynamic. Regulations need to evolve at the same pace as the market and its participants. This is only possible if there's broad public support for regulation. A defeatist message is counterproductive, here.

I think they would probably find a way to spin it off as a separate company, rather than completely kill it. However, I think we're a ways off from that. It's too deeply rooted in the company's history and I think Jensen likes to wear it like a feather in his cap.

Besides, there are lots of interesting things the company is doing at the interplay of graphics and AI. As long as they can do both, I think they'll want to try.

Yeah, the risk is always pressure from the board & shareholders. As long as Nvidia keeps growing, I think the shareholders will be fairly hands-off. It's when they've suffered a few quarters of declines that I'd start to worry.

Its very obvious. I hope they don't intel themselves in the future by being disgustingly greedy.

Gamers had to deal with Crypto's and Covid lockdowns with people receiving government checks to spend and overpay on GPU's. Now it's AI that gamers are having to deal with.
