Since the disastrous launch of the RTX 50 series, NVIDIA has been unable to escape negative headlines: scalper bots are snatching GPUs away from consumers before official sales even begin, power connectors continue to melt, with no fix in sight, marketing is becoming increasingly deceptive, GPUs are missing processing units when they leave the factory, and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has always been praised, are currently falling apart. And to top it all off, NVIDIA is becoming increasingly insistent that media push a certain narrative when reporting on their hardware.

    No, I don’t remember that. What are you talking about?

    Why would Nvidia make DLSS work on other brands hardware? It’s hardware dependant btw - it needs their cuda cores.

      @FreedomAdvocate … this question is totally unimportant for the fact that their current behaivior is not very consumer friendly or harder expressed anti consumer.

      Second cuda is not hardware dependend ;) https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA/tree/master | https://www.xda-developers.com/nvidia-cuda-amd-zluda/

      “Imagine a world where noone needed a brand specific addition to have modern features” … oh those ideas exist since centuries ( DX / OpenGL / Vulkan … ) … now ask yourself why nvidia always tries to operate outside of those api’s ?

      …

        Second cuda is not hardware dependend

        That’s essentially an emulation layer. Nvidia make DLSS specifically for their GPUs, which have CUDA cores on them. It’s the reason why DLSS doesn’t work on their pre-CUDA core hardware.

        Could they make DLSS work on AMDs hardware? Sure, they could - but it would not be DLSS as we know it, and again - why would they? They are allowed to make stuff exclusively for their hardware.

      read about that when they got grilled in the early 2000s

      And how much nvidia influences media ->
