GPU makers need to learn the schemes that ultra high-end EDC knife makers use. There's a maker, I won't name them (but the name is Grimsmo Knives) who are releasing their first new product in 12 years. Since they don't want to eat the cost of R&D, they're selling the first 100 shitty prototype knives as "Artist Proofs" to their most die-hard customers. Nvidia could learn a thing or two from that level of grease. Keep in mind, we're talking about $1,500 pocket knives here.

New product missing some ROPs? Ah man, that actually makes it BETTER because it's more artistically imperfect!

Can a mod include 5080s now in the title also missing 8 ROPs?

What a disaster this launch has been

It’s only a disaster if nvidia lost money lost sales because of this

Im not see said disaster. Every blackwell gpu goes out of stocks within minutes and hour

It’s hopeless and game over

NV basically didn't make any. That's why.

I saw one person say we need to treat this the same way we treated Intel with the silicone degradation issue - buy with caution if you must, preferably just wait for the refresh series

I was more referring to how limited the stock was, how little of a performance boost these cards provided over 4000 series and now missing ROPs.

Upside, it could give AMD a chance to grow and with that push Nvidia to do better going forward, feels like a golden opportunity.

What’s the first game you’re going to play and what did you do with the old 4090?

Finish spider-man 2. And I’m going to keep the 4090 in case
