Dont believe the NK story. As soon as the coup fund (USAID) gets raided 1,5B of money goes up in spoke takwn by *checks notes, the north koreans… The president and first lady are doing rug pulls one month in office, I’d wager the op came from our side.
I’d like to make a device that immediately electrocutes anyone using the word “empowerment” or “empowers”. The global IQ would climb sharply and the oligarchy would decline in about a week.
Queue a similar exchange programme like it happened last gen when the same sales pattern emerged.
Angry upvote you horrible genius.
Your last paragraph literally counters everything you said but the last sentence.
So yes, the 40 and 50 series are named one step too high on the stack. Yes, the pricing increases have been wild, and it’s frustrating that demand is high enough to support it and regulators aren’t stepping in to moderate the MSRP mishandling. Yes, Nvidia mismanaged the 50 series launch in multiple ways, from bad connector design to rushing the 5090 to misleading marketing on frame generation and probably underbaked drivers.
That’s it
The root cause was NVIDIA trying to peddle defective dies because they decided to slot up every SKU to dig more money out of their regarded fans. That cut-down 5090 would likely be sold as a 5080. The current xx70xx skus are 5060s in reality and so on and so forth. In all honesty, you get what you deserve. As soon as the hobby became popular, sense and knowledgeable user went out the window.
Please yes, I look forward to cheaper routers due to oversupply.
