    Has Nvidia abandoned the gaming market?

    Has Nvidia abandoned the gaming market?

    Very much this. I think it will take a several more years to shake out how AI tech will transform game development (not in terms of jobs replacement, but rather the tech stack itself), and Nvidia’s lead may continue to grow as a result of a virtuous cycle.

    No 5090 - Cool!

    The decision by Nvidia is to prioritize Blackwell dies to the datacenter, not the consumer. Their entire current stock valuation is dependent on those sales.

    Mid range?

    As currently constructed, their GPU unit is mind bogglingly inept. They're now at a point where they're squeezed in the gaming GPU market, because Intel is now "competent" (air quotes) on the low-end, and Nvidia obviously dominates the high end. So now they get to watch their margins vanish this...

    Why are 3090s still so expensive?

    I think it's definitely AI/ML, I know folks who have gone from 4080's to 3090's because of the VRAM limitation.

    $2500 5090 I’m out

    I think only the high-end AIB cards will give the ~5% bump you're looking for. And you'd probably be spending >10% to get that. Additionally, the girth and mass of AIB cards will be crazy. Not to mention unicorn puke (Sorry if that's your thing). I don't think it's worth it.

    To buy or to wait ...

    Yeah, they likely have a big die RDNA4 design in their back pocket in case they need it, but won't allocate resources unless there's an opportunity, since big dies are expensive to make.

    9800X3D thermal paste application?

    I've moved on to PTM7950 instead of paste. I cut a sheet to match the dimensions of the IHS; and it's both an easy application, and more performant than most, if not all pastes.

    Rumors seem like they've shifted their high-end priorities to UDNA and RNDA4 is the end-of-the road for the current uArch. https://videocardz.com/newz/next-gen-amd-udna-architecture-to-revive-radeon-flagship-gpu-line-on-tsmc-n3e-node-claims-leaker

    I had buyers remourse. Cancelled my MBP 14" order :(

    Unable to be upgraded after specc'ing during purchase. 1) It's Apple, they've been cutting off tinkerers for years 2) It's an SoC, rather than discrete CPU/GPU, so it's all a single, soldered, and un-socketed package on the logic board
