  Hope they either suck less or are less expensive than the 4000 series. Both would be great, but that for sure won’t happen

    I’m sure they won’t be any cheaper. Nvidia can be as greedy as they want given the low competition they have.

      And with the 4000 Series it worked so damn well. 4090s sold like sliced bread

  Honestly I am hoping that Intel’s BattleMage solves a lot of the problems they had with their first card launch. While I dislike Intel, competition is good for everybody.

    The enthousiastic Intel marketing guy that was on the GN videos left, so it’s not looking great.

  So I should apply for a 2nd mortgage to get that ball rolling?

  Fuck nVidia, I hope AMD’s MI3000 eats their AI lunch so they can go crawling back to the gaming table. Motherfuckers.

  Blackwell… How do they come up with these names. :)

    The architectures are named after scientists. This one is for the mathematician David Blackwell.

      Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

      David Harold Blackwell (April 24, 1919 – July 8, 2010) was an American statistician and mathematician who made significant contributions to game theory, probability theory, information theory, and statistics. He is one of the eponyms of the Rao–Blackwell theorem. He was the first African American inducted into the National Academy of Sciences, the first African American full professor (with tenure) at the University of California, Berkeley, and the seventh African American to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics. In 2012, President Obama posthumously awarded Blackwell the National Medal of Science. Blackwell was also a pioneer in textbook writing. He wrote one of the first Bayesian statistics textbooks, his 1969 Basic Statistics. By the time he retired, he had published over 90 papers and books on dynamic programming, game theory, and mathematical statistics.

  I need an upgrade and I will buy Nvidia’s latest thise time (instead of AMD).

  The question is, when? How long should I wait after it releases to not be an early-tester?
