It's incredible how the news continues to get worse every single day about Arc

NVIDIA reportedly wants to cut TSMC orders for next-gen RTX 40 GPUs 5nm wafers amid lower demand

Hopefully not, least not at launch. When Ampere launch happened, Crypto wasn't initially booming either. It was after a couple months when people realized how good the mining capabilities are is when the boom happened. Before that though, we had all the scalper BS.

Can't help but feel some satisfaction that their GPUs aren't selling. For years they've gouged and played with consumers with shitty practices and selling directly to miners. Though it sucks that because of that they are reducing capacity because they have so much stock of video cards of unwanted 30 series cards.

Also kinda sucks because I badly need a GPU upgrade on my PC lol.

Yea pretty much. I think if the rumours are true about the 4080 being AD103 and Nvidia relying on L2 cache to make the difference in memory bandwidth, then I think next gen will be much more resistant against mining than Ampere has been, especially if they combine it with LHR. Cause mining requires high memory bandwidth and the rumours makes it sound like the 4080 and lower will have G6 and not G6X. That does mean AD102 users will have the same issues as Ampere but realistically, those cards will be a lot more expensive. It's kind of like how a 6900XT has half the hashrate of a 3080.

And hopefully, when the crypto boom does happen, they will be targeting Ampere cards and not so much Lovelace. Personally, I just might keep my 3080 till then loll.
