⚡️🎮 NEW - The RTX 5090 is Nvidia’s flagship gaming GPU, but AI companies are buying them in huge quantities for servers. Reports show RTX 5090 cards purchased by the pallet, despite prices over $5,000 each. Compared with Nvidia’s $16,000 RTX 6000 Pro, a 5090 with 32GB of VRAM looks like a bargain for AI workloads. We are competing with AI companies that can buy these cards in bulk, making an already expensive GPU even harder to get. We need to stop calling the RTX 5090 a “gaming GPU”

You get 1/4th the VRAM for 1/3rd the cost, definitely not a bargain

It was never a gaming GPU in my opinion

how do you think a move similar to what the bip110 did of laying off a bunch of mining companies and what blake2b plans to do of punishing mining companies that they can no longer touch the rewards for up to x amount of time could be repeated. with games the only option I see is to start optimizing and designing the games so that they are capable of running on a PC without a card and make one not feel the need to buy a GPU when they can do everything with what they already have. I already saw that it is possible to do that because I am literally working on making games without a GPU and with limited ram.
