Penis measuring is a big part in marketing. Nvidia is already regarded as the highest quality manufacturer by the majority of gamers. Part of that is that they usually hold the performance crown.
What would the average consumer rather buy? A slimmed down version of the most powerful GPU on the market or some midrange card of that other manufacturer who hasn't really anything to show for concerning the potential of their new architecture? In a market where buyers still pay more attention to the amount of VRAM than actual benchmarks, having the most powerful GPU is worth a lot even if it's too expensive to buy for most people.
I mean how do you think Nvidia got by all these years? All of their cards lose against AMD in price/performance. It's all great marketing.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
