    I know is probably not possible, but I wish a competitor manufacturer would rise during this times and when the bubble pops we would let these worms starve.

      competitor manufacturer

      There’s Chinese ram that’s becoming good. But that doesn’t mean Americans will be allowed to buy it.

      But really gamers are the worst about consumerism. Nvidia is the worst and gamers keep going back. Steve from Gamer’s Nexus had a funny chart in one of his videos a year or so ago. It was a flow chart about gamer spending on hardware showing all the advantages of AMD and Intel in gaming with a big arrow at the bottom that was labeled something like “And then you ignore everything and give all your money to Nvidia.”

        honestly nvidia doesn’t give a hoot if we stop.

        "Consumer (gaming) GPUs make up roughly 7% to 11% of Nvidia’s total revenue, and an even smaller percentage of their net profits. "

        the only reason they sell to us still is the extent they can repackage commercial gpus for us.
