Hearing about the 5090 dies with missing ROPs, that sounds between misleading and fraudulent. Having 5090s with 176 ROPs, other 5090s with 168 ROPS, that’s on the die of the GPU that gets send to board partners, MSI, Zotac, ASUS, Gigabyte, etc. Whoever made the GPU, that are not to blame, they got the die of the GPU from nVidia, but obviously didn’t know that part of the GPU functionality if missing.

Having GPU dies or chips sent to companies that do not match publicly stated specs from nVidia merits a legal investigation.

    America is sliding into fascism and you think the best use of scarce business regulations is to protect a very small number of rich gamers who might be slightly shortchanged.

    Anyone buying a $2000 video card is either a cryptobro or a fool, but I repeat myself.

      DOJ is controlled by the fascists, so investigating nvidia would really only be a minor distraction from investigating and intimidating Trump’s many, many enemies.

          This has the same energy as the “I wrote a long ranting letter to Tim Apple, hopefully he’ll onboard my great ideas!” post.

          Also, just a point of contention with your initial comment. And I’m sure this is what OP meant. Cryptobro and fool are synonyms.
