Nvidia put out a bullshyt statement, but that's just PR. All you can do is F5 and buy quick, or pony up.
I guess I can’t blame Nvidia. The market is very good for them.

Maybe they should start a loyalty program. I straight bought 6 expensive GPUs from them (like the actual Nvidia store). I want some benefit for my loyal service. But, they know I’m not going to AMD :mjcry:

If the market wasn't so lopsided, both companies might be motivated to treat the customers better.

At this point, SLI is dead, right?

For you 1440p posters, what's the best 1440p 144hz monitor?

What can "gamers" do? There are only two GPU companies. They would have to use integrated graphics or just stop PC gaming.
exactly.. it's a monopoly.. it's like asking "what can nfl players do about the league"

you can go play in canada for pennies if you'd like or go sell cars... as a gamer, you ain't about to do shyt but pay and wait... they ain't worried about losing us cause we got nowhere to go

Sh!t isn’t like the NFL....nerds that populate this thread are the minority not the majority of PC gaming. Every black player kneeling for the anthem would have an effect. Every PC master race nerd quitting PC gaming wouldn’t.

you think only the nerds in this thread are affected by not being able to get a GPU for a decent price?

It would have zero effect except making white people mad. Nobody is gonna quit football. Never say nobody lol.......

Some people would quit. Like they did last year. Most people gonna bytch and moan and turn the shyt right on. And the player got nowhere else to make that kind of money, so they gonna play. Just like most pc gamers bytching and moaning and will buy the next card, no problem. And keep on pc gaming.

Once they own the market, they don’t give two fukks about you. Unless another competitor makes them. But in this case, the competitor also doesn’t give a fukk about you either.
