Em... not to be *that* guy but Nvidia actually trried to do something about it. They're the ones that developed LHR to try to push miners away from their cards, and brought to the market Turing based cards just for miners, all while AMD did nothing at all.

I say this because it's not Nvidia's fault you're talking about but the greed of most, if not all (I really should have made a list of all the ones that got caught doing it), the AIB partners that were the ones that went for miners of internet cafes and sold them directly the cards instead than to us, gamers. They are the ones that brought us here, not Nvidia.

With that said, what Nvidia, and also AMD, should do now is to cut the MSRP, because it's been two years and the remaining cards wont sell unless they drop in price, and a lot.

I was mostly on about how crappy they treated a lot of customers this generation. That LHR thing didn't do much other than to stop the little guys earning some money on side with mining. While they and their partners were selling pallet loads to huge mining farms. Both AMD and Nvidia were shitty this gen as far as I'm concerned with over-inflating prices, silly pointless releases and milking an already poor situation.

No sympathy from me, AiBs, AMD and Nvidia can suck it after this generation.

I understand that you're pissed by how things have gone this gen but, again, Nvidia didn't sell "pallet loads to huge mining farms", that was all AIB partners and stores. And it is/was also them that raised the prices because they knew miners would still buy them anyway. Neither Nvidia, nor AMD, made more money because of the higher price of the cards. They only took profit from the higher volume of GPUs sold and, as I said, at least Nvidia tried to do something that would have harmed that extra volume.

LHR didn't target the little guy but everybody, and it's not like the ridiculous price of Ethereum, that made even the reduced hash-rate worth it, was Nvidia's fault, right?

But well, if you're so fed up with Nvidia, AMD and the AIBs, you can always go and buy an Intel card, whenever those launch .
