It's awful isn't it? It's super important that we vote with our wallets and we opt out. Just like all of us here in the fediverse have decided to opt out of places like Reddit. We'll build our own community, and Reddit will continue to thrive, but at least we individuals said no and left.
Sure Nvidia will still sell so many video cards. The combination of us opting out, combined with all the reviewers criticizing Nvidia will invariably hurt their profits, albeit very very slightly. If the value isn't there and the product doesn't sell, the prices will drop over time which snowballs.
The only thing we can do as individuals is to not buy these things, and train ourselves to not make dumb impulse consumerism purchases buying stuff we don't need. Thankfully, Nvidia just made it easier for us by releasing this dumb card. Use what you have, and flock to the competition when it's time to upgrade.
It will still sell by the millions :(
We have been played.
Seems like a pretty poor price/performance proposition, like most of the cards this gen.
