    If AMD can launch these cards in reality, unlike Nvidia’s mockery of a launch, they can make pretty deep headway into wiping out Nvidia’s lead. Team green has been shooting themselves in the foot with consumers for years now, but competition hasn’t been able to fill the gap. With these obscene prices now, lack of availability, and even seeming abandonment of gamers with a hard shift to AI, there’s a large set of customers opening up to AMD and even Intel offerings now.

        Possibly, but I’m one of the newly convinced, my 3080 is the last product I’ll get from them at this point I don’t think I’m alone at this being the final straw. Especially with everything inflating in price so dramatically across the board in just the last few years, and Nvidia being at the forefront of that.

        Nvidia isn’t going to get another cent from me at this point. I already recently bought an Arc GPU for my streaming server instead because it was half the price and just as capable as other options for my use case. And it has been working perfectly. Previously I would have just bought an Nvidia GPU out of habit and familiarity.
