Maybe they didn't like the terms of how fast they would be able to unload when OpenAI IPOs.

shovel maker accuses gold digger of indiscrimate digging

"for christ's sake: show some discipline" Jensen to Scam Altman

basically Nvidia's 100 billion would not be useful if Gemini overtakes openAI's chatGPT. So Jensen doesn't want to invest the $100 billion unless Altman improves his software tech /models

20% chance that open AI remain profitable (hence prices will not decrease)

else 2028 to 2030 is the window when you can expect prices to decrease

I asked grok the question again

it says

1. 10% to 20% chance that open AI can succeed
2. most likely to go bankrupt in the 2029 to 2030 window

I think they also wanted to make sure that 100 billion was "invested" in buying nVidia GPUs.

Ok fired up Cyberpunk with the 9070xt. Everything maxed, RT on Ultra (not psycho) and no path tracing.

Using XESS 2.0 + FSR3.1 frame gen and the game is extremely playable and looks damn good (insofar as not having a bunch of upscaling or FG artifacts).

For some reason FSR4 was showing up in the options until I started a new game, and now it's disappeared, so make of that what you will. Not missing it, XESS looks fine and I honestly can't tell if it's messing anything up.

My main rig manages 150 FPS given the settings and input lag is honestly not an issue. Some of the holograms and such look a little frizzy but otherwise the game looks great.

Been a while since I've done a choices matter type game with some deep lore so look forward to sinking my teeth into this one.

Predictions are 5090 will not be just the name, it'll be the price too.

My advice is buy now or cry later.

They did it. The crazy SOBs actually did it. MSI priced the new 5090 at $5090. Time stamped -

850w to play PlagueTale, 2077 is 811w! Hilarious.

- As an update on this, reinstalling my drivers allowed FSR4 to activate and stick. Its a huge improvement on FSR3.1 or XESS2.0 but my understanding was CDPR didn't have the best FSR3.1 implementation and there was additional improvement to be gleaned.

So I installed Optiscaler and used it to have FSR4.0 use DLSS vector inputs for Cyberpunk. The improvement is a small but noticeable one, things are just ever so slightly crisper, whatever minimal ghosting was there in reflections is even minimal-er.

If Optiscaler simply had a more intuitive GUI or front end installer then it would go a long way to covering up AMD's upscaling sins.
