    They'd need to reduce max power draw to 300w to maybe match(it could still be faster there) the pure raster performance of the 4090 and we know from driver commits that they're actually raising it from 320w to 375w. Though admittedly that's just from their statement of an over 50% performance...

    AMD would have to try to fuck this up.

    The nvidia GTC announcements were shiiiiiiiiit. That is all.

    As far as we know, no. They might have something under NDA with AMD or Intel(ha!) but for now we have to assume they aren't. Ayup. Remember the dying GPU issue with Turing? That was on nvidia and yet... they didn't admit fault, shifting blame onto AIBs like EVGA.

    That is, most likely, a temporary drop as miners unload their graphics cards onto people. It will probably go back up in time.

    I'm going to be honest, 700k isn't a whole lot when it comes to GPU sales. That's not even 1% of 2018's total sales and only 21% of Q4's total sales(revenue of 2.8 billion dollars), even assuming every GPU sold was 850 dollars(they weren't, most were way cheaper) that's still 3.29 million GPUs...

    Because it would be anti-competitive as fuck.

    According to TSMC earning reports, more people are using 32nm and 55nm than 16nm right now. It's old enough to be uncompetitive but still new enough that it's expensive.

    They could just ask TSMC to do it. Not like anyone is using 16nm.

    hahahahahahahahahahahaha Whoever fucking wrote this has 0 clue what the fuck they're talking about. You want to know the main bottleneck for nvidia? GDDR6(X) and fucking PCBs. Not silicon chips. Fuck this article, this guy is a fucking idiot. Don't listen to pcgamer, the verge, or similar...

    And now you know why I will endlessly shit on nvidia over on the SB graphics card thread. Along with things like this: Alienware to Return Abducted GPU Cores to m15 R5 Laptop With vBIOS Fix Fuck Nvidia, they're as bad as Apple and Intel combined.

    Biggest issue with that is the 2 layers of thermal pads. Also having to pull heat off of a plastic covered piece of shit.

    When it reaches 110c? Yes. Yes they did. Nvidia reference cards fucking suck. They've always sucked. The most dramatic example you can point to is the damn GTX 590, which had such underpowered VRMs that the damn cards would explode under normal use even when the GPU cores weren't that hot. Or...

    You'll need a nice and powerful power supply for that 3090 and I hope to god you got one with decent VRAM cooling on the back otherwise it will die in a few months.

    They aren't called bitcoins, they're crypto currencies of which bitcoin is one. And you're thinking dogecoin, which is far from new. And the HD mine thing dropped to 50% of its previous value on launch, so not much to worry about there.

    They have to charge a decent amount for their latest chips, they're massive. 8 cores and yet a bigger die than their last 10 cores.

    That's because people aren't buying their CPUs.

    I will note that the owner of this is really, really biased against AMD and so I wouldn't trust them when they put out benchmarks.
