NVidia ends 'Turing' card production midst, making room for 'Ampere' cards midst the mining resurgence

but esports players? (idk what theyre called), can do with 3080ti performance without the rt, which makes sense to produce cards without the rt cores so people uninterested in them can get the gtx 3080 for a lesser price as well. not only esports players, normal consumers who dont want rt, can get a gtx card of the same series and build, without the rt, than cheaper price than the rtx variant of the same card.

So? There are a lot of things one may not need and you need to buy a more expensive higher up card anyway. If we based everything on "esports" players we'd still be running DirectX 7 even today... Or DirectX 9 which is still very much the actual case.

no im not saying we should base everything on the needs of esports players, all im saying is the features that nvidia are packing into their cards, which are used by only a small part of the buyers can be removed, and the cards without rtx can be sold at a relatively cheaper price. many people who buy these cards may never use rtx ever, but are forced to get the ray tracing since there are no other alternatives.

Isn't that why the GTX 16 series existed? 

 

eSports games are designed to run exceptionally well on even mid-tier hardware to improve accessibility. I know R6: Siege can run north of 200FPS on my 2070S.

yup but dont they need as many frames as possible? i dont think the supplier providing systems for major competitions would risk giving the competitors a 1660ti in the systems since '120 frames is enough for csgo'.

could this have any ties with the apparent "mining resurgence"?

Nvidia being shady. I'm so shocked I'll go post about it on my Tumblr.

 

Shit aside, business as usual for Nvidia.

I don't watch that guy's videos but that's a two month old news article, and I personally wasn't even aware of a mining resurgence at all (which btw I just don't see happening considering mining's just plain not profitable anymore, unless you don't pay your own bills), so I really don't have much of anything to say about this.

It's just business I guess. Every big company has to do their fair share of shady things, eh?

Well I guess @5x5 and @Mateyyy said their opinion. I guess it's my turn. 

Well I mean. I didn't expect mining to come back. Ever considering how not profitable and dumb it is. 

After all it's a multi billion dollar company and im not surprised that they are shady in one way or another.
