The Beginning of the End for PC Gaming?
So, Nvidia might cancel the RTX 5000 Super? Because AI needs all the GDDR7 it can get its grubby little silicon hands on? Give me a break. This isn't just about one graphics card; it's about where the entire damn industry is heading. We're sacrificing gaming at the altar of… what, exactly? More efficient cat videos?
The rumor mill is churning, saying that 3 GB GDDR7 chips are too valuable for consumer GPUs now. Too valuable? What the hell does that even mean? Are we supposed to be grateful that Nvidia deigns to sell us anything while they're raking in billions from AI farms?
Let's be real, Nvidia's been riding high on the AI wave, and gaming has become a sideshow. They'll throw us a bone with the RTX 5090, maybe, but the mid-range cards? The ones that actual humans can afford? Those are getting the shaft.
The AI Money Machine
The article mentions that Jensen Huang said total cumulative shipments of their Blackwell and Rubin platforms will total half a trillion dollars. Half a trillion? And they're worried about a few measly GPUs for gamers? It's insulting.
And Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Oracle are talking about strong AI demand. Offcourse they are. Everyone's trying to get a piece of that sweet, sweet AI money.
But here's the thing: What happens when the AI bubble bursts? What happens when everyone realizes that half these AI startups are just glorified Excel spreadsheets? Will Nvidia suddenly remember that they used to care about gamers? Don't count on it.
The piece also notes that Nvidia's revenue soared to over $130 billion. I mean, good for them, I guess. But at what cost? Are we just supposed to accept that our hobby is being cannibalized by a bunch of algorithms?
The article says, "It wouldn't look good for Nvidia to cancel or delay a potential RTX 5000 Super launch." You think? It'll look even worse when PC gaming becomes a luxury only the ultra-rich can afford.
A Glimmer of False Hope?
Then there's the bit about the Super cards being replacements for the 5070, 5070 Ti, and 5080 models. The idea is that it would bring down prices. Yeah, right. I'll believe that when I see it. Remember the RTX 3080 launch? Remember the great GPU shortage of 2020-2022? We were paying scalpers double MSRP just to play Cyberpunk.
The piece even admits, "Almost every contemporary graphics card released by Nvidia and AMD has been in this mold, with barely-there stock and headline-grabbing MSRPs." So why are we even pretending that the RTX 5000 Super would be any different?
The author bought an RTX 5080 and watched the prices change daily. Sounds about right. It's like buying a used car from a shady dealer.
And finally, the obligatory "take this rumor with some reservations" disclaimer. Of course. They have to cover their asses. But let's be honest, where there's smoke, there's usually a raging inferno fueled by corporate greed. As one report suggests, Nvidia's RTX 5000 Super could be cancelled or get pricier due to AI-induced GDDR7 woes.
