      People buy Nvidia no matter what. Even when they aren’t the best choice. Then those same people complain about Nvidia doing the anticompetitive things they do.

      The best is when people cheer for AMD making something great, only so they can buy an Nvidia card cheaper.

      Nvidia’s greatest asset is the mindshare they have.

        Well that and CUDA still means a load of professionals in various fields are stuck using Nvidia whether they like it or not. This means data centers are incentivised to go with Nvidia if they want those customers, which ultimately means if someone gonna work on code/tools that run in those data centers, you want the same architecture on your local machine for development and testing.

        It’s getting better, but the gap is still real. Hopefully the guys that are working on SCALE can actually get it working on the CDNA GPUs one day, since data centers are where a lot of the CUDA is running or perhaps the UDNA stuff AMD just announced will enable this.

        The fact this is all hinging on the third party that develops SCALE, should highlight that AMD still doesn’t seem to be playing the same game as Nvidia, which is why we’re still in this position.

        “I want change!”

        *Doesn’t do anything to change*

        “Why hasn’t anything changed?”

      CEO of a company that makes the computer part that is most important for gamers. He has a net worth of about 100 billion USD

      Their products are currently better than the competition and they make full use of their position.

      They are known for very high prices, scummy marketing tricks, and abusing their small business partners.

      The company briefly overtook Apple and Microsoft, becoming the most valuable company at around 3 trillion USD.
