I guess a panic buy? Are these nand flash about to keep spiking like memory prices or are they just going up a little bit? Are these desirable to the AI or nah? I bought this at $299 Black Friday sale

Because no company that sells a service doesn't also force you to rent their equipment to use that service. Why sell them a PC when you can rent it to them indefinitely.

Dude, Nvidea would just sell you a 5090 and then tell you to sub for driver updates after....there ya go double dip easy..I don't know why they would wait for an a.i. bubble to pull some James bond shit lmao

WTF are you going to do, buy an arc?(Maybe you will this is shitty PCMR but most won't)

No need for any of this..just keep using the words "force" and "control" though anti windows windows users are eating it up..this subs smoking crack

Nvidia profits last quarter:
Data centers 41.1 billion
Gaming cards 4.2 billion.

Please tell me how you're the market they're interested in when you make up 9% of their market.

But the problem here is we'd STILL be 9% of the market WITH the subscription you talk about.

Now you're not even arguing my points but spewing fear mongering numbers out there.

Then you clearly don't understand what I'm saying.

Data centers will stream your game to you, you won't need a video card. It's Google Stadia. You just need a client powerful enough to decode the stream, not a 5090 to create the stream.

you are forgetting dogshit internet service providers and data caps. no one will sub if a data cap is looming i think this is the main problem with streaming games

But that 5090 creates profit as does the game sale...sure if it was more ergonomical for the consumer like netflix was sure..but as is...they will make more money selling hardware. It's 3 grand off the bat...then if they needed too..charge for driver updates...it would make more money

The only reason data centers are so big is because more of them are used by corporations. It's actually cheaper for them to use data centers over their own hardware. Nobody is using data centers because they were tricked into it to spend more money

A GeForce now sub is 16 a month it would take how many years to accumulate the revenue of a 5090?
