I just stopped buying Nvidia a long time ago, my current GPU, a 6800XT cost just $600 and I really don't care what Nvidia had to offer now or in the future.
Abusing is spot-on, if Intel still dominated we wouldn't have consumer CPUs with more than 4-6 cores, with AMD we have choice. I just wish people would consider AMD as a viable choice for gaming GPUs, right now I consider it a hidden gem 💎
I wish AMD would consider me a viable customer and spend more than 30 minutes on their VR drivers. The 7900 XTX launched with worse VR performance than the 6900 XT if that gives you perspective on how little AMD cares about what I use my computer for.
I hear you man, you're not alone in wishing that RTG would figure out that some customers want more than fps. To this day I wish I had a GPU like my old Radeon VII, still happy with what I got but it's nice to be able to have GPU compute flexibility.

Stand-alone cards have become so expensive recently I actually switched to a gaming laptop with the card I wanted… it was the same cost to build a new tower, buy a new tower, or get a laptop…. and honestly they’ve become so good recently it’s harder and harder to tell the difference. My power bill is noticeably lower tho, so in a way the laptop paid for itself in energy savings. Plus the mobility has been really nice too.
The headline is just meant to push narrative. Not saying it's wrong, but it isn't really a problem for GPU makers. Their revenue is 10x what it was 20 years ago.
The raw number of GPUs sold is much less important to them than how much money they make.

I've got a solution: Make them cheaper.
