How fucked are we?
>>728906604Current hardware works just fine Developers should learn to optimize their games.
>>728906604>you will only buy AMD GPUs>you will be happy
>>728906739Wow you're just gonna ignore intel
>>728906604no one needs more than 8-16gb of vram were fine. that'll be easy to make.
There is a market there just waiting to be tapped and Njudea can fuck off and do their AI garbage until their own bubble pops. There won't suddenly be a void where GPUs won't exist, don't you worry. Pretty sure the chinks are catching up fast too with their tech.
>>728906604>NOOOO I NEED TO CONSOOM THE LATEST GPUSLOP EVERY YEAR
>>728906604>>728906715This. We're freed ackshually
AMD will save usTrust the plan
>>728907001This is me but unironically.
>AMD only GPUs from now on>GPU performance is basically capped for the next 10 years
>>728906604>What if Creative Labs abandons PC gaming?
>>728907170good. we need better optimization and games not muh grafix.
Article like this makes retard think entire gaymen industry is depending on a single entity when even if they are gone no one will care. The market will continue with or without them.
I wanna piss on leather jacket man's face
>>728906604I'm not worried
The best eras of gaming - and the best games - came about due to limitations. It's only within the last decade or so that we've had effectively zero limitations Could be a kino time if designers have to actually use their brains to impress us instead of just tripling the triangle count of a sandwich model
>>728906604They aren't going to quit, retard. They're practically holding a monopoly.
>>728906604>have market monopoly >duuuude what if they abandoned their monopoly??Really guys?
>no more faggot minimal upgrades because shitty devs can't optimize their garbage gamesthis is bad because?
>Nvidia, AMD, and Intel abandon gamersGamer bros... why are we so oppressed?
>Market Size & Growth (2024-2025 Estimates)>Global PC Gaming Market: Valued at approximately $86.12 billion in 2025, up from $76.73 billion in 2024.>Hardware Focus: Gaming PCs and components form the largest chunk, with hardware alone valued around $70.85 billion in 2025. >Projected Growth: Expected to reach $152.16 billion by 2032, growing at ~8.47% CAGR. This "crisis" is the definition of a nothing burgerNo one is going to abandon a 100 billion dollar industry and if they do which is doubtful somebody will be quick to come in and fill the gaps
>>728906715I'm sure they'll do that, I'm sure games won't just keep getting shittier
>>728907465lmao he told you retards he only did gaming to fund nvidia. you retarded consoomers handed them money every year and they treated you like a used condom. real adults don't care about video games.
>>728907984Gtfo my board then niggerfaggot
I WANT Nvidia to leave gaming. I WANT AMD to do the same. I WANT Sony to go bankrupt. I WANT Nintendo to become only a theme park/movie company. I WANT Xbox to die. Video games are evil.
>>728907574well that's actually the problem. they hold two monopolies, but one is much more lucrative than the other, and there's only so much production going aroundthey probably feel incredibly confident that they could ignore the games market for at least 5 years and then come back with almost no competition eating up their market share appreciably
>Unlesslol
>>728906604amd, intel and the chinks swoop in till the AI bubble either normalizes and pops and njudea comes back to woo the gamers
>>728908108>@The_Feminist_TM
still have amd and intel arc, they might quit for ai too and then a new company in china appears
>>728906604Gaming is finally healing.
it's not like that they'd just abandon driver development r-right?
>>728908157You dont want that.AI wont even go anywhere, just like how websites didnt stop existing after the .com bust.
>>728906814Yeah, next time don't sell me chinese fireworks.
So less memetracing, fake resolution and fake frames slop moving forward?
>>728906604Total radeon victory. Fuck redditvidia.
>>728906604Just start your own graphics card company!
>>728908658Maybe I will!
>>728907984Real adults love being replaced and raped by the government
>>728908390AI has more in common with NFTs, where it's a speculative market without a clear and obvious value. once it pops people will pull their stuff down quickly and easily.
>>728906604All my life I've been gaming in my room, I don't know anything else. No more games are made for me, and soon no hardware.I don't know what to do then.
>>728908108I kind of agree with the "you could have just learned guitar" take. There are some unique rhythm games out there but there's no reason for most of them to exist outside an arcade.
fuck gookvidiawhite man come home
>>728908108This vapid hole can to die in a ditch, but this exact particular image has a point. Why would you simulate a fucking guitar in a video game, when you can literally just get an actual guitar and play it? It's not like guitars are inaccessible. Video games are for simulating impossible things.
>>728908492>retard insisted on buying the chinese-made version instead of the good one
>>728908108gamers are not ready for this conversation. a truth cobalt bomb.
>>728906715Your response when your hardware inevitably fails in a couple of years and there are no gpus or affordable pc hardware?
I think a severe hardware shortage could have a secondary effect on the mobile gaming markets as well as the retro gaming market.
>>728906604Soon the GPU wars will be fought between Loongson and Moore Threads so who gives a shit about Nvidia.
>>728910943More like Longnose lmao
>>728906604Nvidia sucks balls, they killed the gpu and games with the release of the rtx series, it's their fault that games nowadays work like shit and look like games from 15 years ago.
>>728906604AMD gpus are good enough for gaming
>>728908117>they probably feel incredibly confident that they could ignore the games market for at least 5 years and then come back with almost no competition eating up their market share appreciablyand they are right
>>728910349I'll probably buy a pre built. It'll take years for my hardware to become completely unuseable
>>728907415For reference because you're really dumb, three out of four computers on Steam right now are using Nvidia cards
>new consumer GPU startup happens>Nvidia gets triggered and buys them just for spite
>>728910349You know I've never lost a gpu. I've lost cpus/mobos/ram but never a gpu.I'm pretty sure if I took it out of its box this Christmas, the old 4870 I have at mom's house still works.
>>728908108this bot isnt wrong but even if he could play it on guitar hed be a loser for liking metal music instead of being able to woodwork or some shit. the goal posts never stop moving
>>728913195>gamers will eat up the sloppa>companies somehow not looking for an excuse to minecraft them over five years of lost profitsEveryone isn't like M$, Amazon and OpenAI where they can stick their hands out and get free money for nothing.
>>728906604Imagine the AAA collateral
>>728913272Now check which cards. All low end crap that could easily be replaced by some AMD. The most used one is a fucking laptop.
Chinese companies are already starting to produce gaming GPUs that can run Black Myth Wukong. They're rapidly catching up to AyyMD.
>>728906604Nvidia won't quit "gaming," they have Geforce Now and provide the Switch 2 chipset.
>>728906989it doesn't make any sense the united states would intentionally allow one of its very lucrative markets to be absorbed by a competing nation, thats what i don't understand about all of this, because here is whats going to happen we are all going to start looking eastward to china and they will take us in their embrace leaving the west behind and the us government is literally saying "yeah thats ok let china have you" and with the decline the us is in this move is very stupid and is going to have a very big impact on the west yet they pretend like its no big deal?
>>728906604It's gonna be fucking amazing. Like you know if you compare the games from the start of a console gen to the end of a console gen when the developers use every trick in the book to squeeze more out of the same hardware there's a day and night difference. If by some miracle the current state of the hardware just froze and the developers were forced to compete in utilizing it to the fullest instead of just going "oh yeah buy the newest gpu with the newest frame gen slop technology btw" gaming would've unironically been unfucked.
>>728913561nigger THEYRE ALL INALL INthey dont care anymore THEYRE ALL IN on this ai shit
>>728910943They are pathetic, 1050-1060 tier for their best GPUs but drawing almost 300W while having only basic DirectX support. The future is clearly AMD and Intel, with Nvidia selling enthusiast shit only.
>>728909365>>728909913Actual instruments are not the same as rhythm games, you morons. Rhythm games are simplified.
>>728913646the us is in a very serious decline in power, in potential, and moves like this where you are cutting off your own limbs is bizarre to watch man, they hate us so much they are going to cut off their own fingers to spite us and when we are all using chinese tech, and looking east to the future and not westward will they still have the same reaction? the us allies partnerships have never been weaker, the dollar is dying by the day, we have a 40 trillion dollar debt by the end of next year, a population decline, and institutional trust has never been lower, this is quite literally the worst possible time for the united states to start cutting parts of itself off like this to give to other countries, how many industries can the us sacrifice to competing nations before it starts to realize how badly the cancer has spread?
>>728913756>>728913646its intentional and i just don't understand the logic behind the united states' 5-10 year plans, what are they thinking in washington im legitimately clueless.
>>728913542At 20fps low, sub 720p with upscaling while drawing power like a Fermi, that's after decades of development. They are nowhere close to Intel integrated even.
>>728913807>>728913821That's what you'll be getting until boomers aren't 6 feet under.
>>728913923to top it all off CHINA IS OUT CREDITOR, we are in NO position to be giving up pieces of our industries to the east like this, even if you hate gaming the amount of money it makes the economy and the people it employs it makes NO FUCKING SENSE TO DO THIS, when china and russia or other countries will gladly suck up the resources the united states IS GIVING AWAY FOR FREE. make it make sense man its genuinely baffling there is no silver lining to this where the us benefits in any meaningful way.
>>728913860I wouldn't underestimate the Chinese. They copy and brute force shit into oblivion until they catch up. I'm almost hoping Nvidia gives up on gaming.
>>728914003>>728913923THE ENTIRE US ECONOMY IS 7 OCMPANIES BOUNCING MONEY BETWEEN EACH OTHER it accounts for almost ALL OF IT in the largest bubble we've ever seen AND its sacrificing a very profitable industry to do it? um what????? where is the cooler heads talking people down? how does the us win like this exactly?
>>728909974Buy official still get set on fire thanks to microcode bugs.
>>728906604things are going to get more expensive
>>728906604intel arc battlemage b770 will save us.
>>728906604not at allAMD and Intel still exist
>>728913343I've had more gpus fail than any other part. But nvidia's garbage 7900/7950 cards are skewing those numbers.
>>728906715Unironically they soon will be forced to optimize as hardware ages and people can't upgrade. Should be interesting.
the united states is setting the stage for china to take its place there is just no two ways about it, we are giving up our seat for another country WILLINGLY.
>>728906604>WeOnly indians and nintendies are fucked.
>>728914231No one acknowledges or takes gaming seriously. That's the issue. That's why no one cares that Nvidia might give it up. >>728914569This. It might have unforseen benefits.
>>728914753we are giving china the incentive to focus in on its chip making and gpu market, now that we are an injured gazelle its the perfect time to strike, gaming is just downstream of it we are essentially opening the door for china to stab us in the neck and hope they don't?
>>728906604Maybe we'll finally go back to real resolutions and frames.
>>728914569Nice boobs
>>728914840I think that you fear China too much China has not invaded as many countries as the US. The chips themselves are already made in Taiwan. I personally don't care if China makes gpus instead of the US.
>>728906604China will step up.
>>728915238so you admit then the us empire is over for good glad we are on the same page.
Did anyone else feel some kind of major vibe shift roughly a couple months ago? 2-3 months, or so. Something in the air changing. It wasn't like that one in the fall before covid. It felt a lot more severe and a lot worse.
>>728914174Anon, what do you think these GPUs are the result of? That's literally the best they can do.
