    I think NVidia is already getting a kick in the ass.

    The first GPU I bought was a GTX 1060 with 6GB. A legendary card I kept using until just last year November.

    What did I upgrade to?

    Why Intel of course. The A770 is cheaper than a AMD of the same performance range, and has a weird quirk where it actually does better at 1440p than similar cards. Very likely the spacious VRAM, which is also nice to have for the 3D work I do.

    I didn’t upgrade past the 1060 earlier because the 20 series wasn’t that big enough of a leap, and the 30 series is where a lot of Nvidia’s bullshit started.

      And for the industrial market $ per performance is all that matters because in large deployments there is no issue with just parallelizing as many GPUs as you want. Even if an intel GPU for a 10th of the price has a 5th of the performance, then you just slap together 5 of them and get the same processing power for half the price.
