Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models

  Retroarch disagrees. I don’t need your newfangled enshittified slop. I have megaman X and wine.

    Any sub 500 dollar gpu can play any game that’s not ray traced unreal engine 5 slop. Lots of games to choose from from the last 40+ years. The only limiting factor is ram prices sadly.

    They’ve already been pushing this for like a decade now. GeForce now has been a thing since like 2015.

      This is true. And services like Xbox Game Pass, ugh. I mean, it sounds nice in theory being able to play anything that’s on the subscription. But at the same time, you don’t own anything! Seems any and all companies are driving consumers in that direction…

    Way too late. This has been a talking point for a while. The AI bubble will burst but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll just return to their roots. Those new data centers need a use case and they need a good reason to keep building more.

    I guess the silver lining is that this plan B won‘t work out either so we‘ll have to see. But until then we better take good care of our current hardware. It will probably have to last a good while longer.

      Cloud computing is the real endgame. The big tech bros want to price consumers out of the PC hardware market (GPUs, RAM, NVMe, etc.) so they can offer a cloud solution via subscription model.

        These Chinese are catching up very quickly on GPUs, RAM, etc.

        This would be a massive own goal for the existing incumbents.

        Annoying bastard. As if destroying mom-and-pop stores and malls weren’t enough.

        I don’t know that they want to, but as economic inequality increases it will happen. Without a middle class, there’s not much of a market for high-end gaming PCs

  Just stop playing games, and they will have no hold over you.

  Or code your own, it’s simple to code a simple game.

      Damn, I was hoping people would be happy with 2006 style flash coding.

    This might be enough for anyone that only enjoys tic-tac-toe or maybe checkers.
