    I hope they manage to ban and crackdown on crypto globally, it has no value other than scamming amateur investors, and producing massive ammounts of CO2.

    you're way misjudging the issue here. the issue is that ARM holding is the rights holder to technology that is produced by many businesses, this technology being the ARM processor design. if nvidia were to aquire ARM holding, they would essentially have the power to block companies (let's say Qualcomm as an example) from making products if they feel like they are a threat to nvidia's marketshare in the space.
    and let's be honest, it's not a secret nvidia wants to be in the mobile makertplace, and aside from the nintendo switch have failed terribly so far.
     
    in essence, it's like the whole fuss about nvidia attempting to steer reviewers' opinions by threatening to remove their access to review samples.. but in the case of ARM holding it would be removing their access to the IP required to produce products.
     
    it's not that nvidia would be a worse company to own ARM holding than qualcomm, it's that any company that has a financial interest in making the IP licensing prohibitively expensive or otherwise limiting access to the licensing, is not a viable option.
    ARM should be held by a company that has interest in selling as many licenses as possible, rather than has a potential interest in limiting the access to the IP.
     
    there's an argument to be made that aquiring ARM holding is part of the free market, but there's an at least equally big argument to be made that ARM holding staying independant from a chip maker is important to keep a free market.
    The reason this aquisition is so convoluted, is that controlling ARM holding essentially means controlling the market for mobile chipsets, and it would allow an american company to potentially burn down a brittish company to exert pressure on several asian competitors.
     
    it's an argument of the meaning and limits of free market, it's an issue of international politics, and it's a financial issue.

    Don’t see the point of a 144hz screen foe your current setup. Go for a new cpu/ram/mobo and then invest in a better
    monitor & gpu down the line. Just my opinion.

    You're at fault because power supply cables are NEVER interchangeable between brands at the very least and in at least some cases not even between different series in the same brand.

    Stormseeker9 got a reaction from ouroesa in Nvidia 3080/3090 shortage expected to last until 2021   
    Uuh... nvidia either drastically underestimated, has a supply issue or ... reallly the ‘demand’ is the issue. What a dumb comment from a CEO. Demand is what ones want, this way they also know prices artificially inflate due to the S/D situation. 
     
    He should have wrote something along;
    ‘due to an overwhelming demand, our supply can’t keep up at the moment.’
     
    not demand is the issue... poor poor
