Nvidia Threatens to Become A Monopoly

[SickBeast]

Tell me how can you have a discussion with someone without ending up personal when that person denies things that are proven facts. At that point you are not discussing opinions, but you jumped to the realm of faith. There is no objectivity in faith, only subjectivity, ergo sum, personal.

By controlling yourself. Accept that not everything you say is an absolute fact and that others have different opinions than your own. You HAVE to accept that otherwise you have no business even having a single conversation with another human being on this planet. Everyone is different. When they are different from yourself, that shouldn't give you cause to go after them personally. Stick to your argument and present factoids as best as you can. If those factoids are strong enough, any educated person will consider them and may or may not change their view. If they don't, you cannot hold it against them.
This is all I'm saying on this subject, people should know how to have a conversation by now on public forums without getting personal.

Rollo is actually correct.

nvidia will just do what intel does with the i series CPUs.

There already are boutique parts nvidia can and does charge the consumer silly prices for (Titan/Titan-Z).

At the end of the day nvidia has to keep selling cards or go bankrupt due to no sales, no matter if AMD is around or not.

And what has intel done since Sandy Bridge came out?  10% gains each year?  And you're happy with that?  I know I'm not.  Monopolies destroy innovation and raise prices for consumers.  There is a reason why they are illegal.

I'm quite unexcited about the progression of Intel CPU performance increases since Sandy. it's the reason I still have my 2500k. Nothing out there shows enough performance gain to justify the platform upgrade costs right now, and if the 5% IPC increase Broadwell is rumored to have is true, I may STILL stay with the Sandy. Crazy right?

I agree, it's ridiculous. Had my wife not spilled miso soup on my 2500k I would still be using it as well. Apple's A8X can now match intel's mobile i5 CPUs and that is a <5w processor. Pretty soon Nvidia will overtake them with the Tegra CPUs as well and we will see what happens. Intel is eventually going to have to compete with the ARM chips otherwise x86 is just going to die completely one day.
