I don't support that post. I was agreeing.
I don't think there's a difference in this case...
Because two wrongs do not make a right. At least Nvidia measured up to their mistake, if they hadn't they would have been no better than AMD.
You're a joke if you honestly think they are now somehow better than AMD. But you always thought that, and will keep making every excuse to keep thinking that.
Thankfully, someone as big as Linus called them out, and I am delighted to see comments like this, because this is exactly what needs to be said;

If Ray tracing was so undisputed and everyone agreed it was the future why are they scared of one person's opinion

Huge props to all of you [reviewers] for stepping up. Gonna go AMD just for the principle at this point.

"Better to get on vision with Nvidia, or else..." - well, I am sure now that I don't need that either as gamer. My money is my vote...that goes other direction for sure.

Nvidia pretending they speak for gamers and the entire community in the email to hwu is absolute gold lmao

I just subscribed to Hardware Unboxed, and I've never even seen one of his Vids! I just want to support this guy!

Respect to Linus for this he has showed definitively that he has integrity and is willing to support other TechTubers when Nivida or AMD try to strong arm other content creators. Impressive respect.

Hardware Unboxed subscription base is growing exponentially, and rightly so!

I’m so angry about this. When I get my pre ordered 3080 in July 2021 I’m sending it back!

HW unboxed flew under my radar before. They got themselves a new subscriber!

I like how the nvidia letter to HWU mentions consoles as if the ones that do RT were powered by nvidia GPUs.

Guess I'll go to hardware unboxed and sub and watch his videos to support him.
Just as a disclaimer, this has nothing to do with people now going AMD, but people actually punishing a corporation trying to abuse its power. Especially in the case of nVidia, they have gotten away with way too many things in the past, and it is a good sign that they are being shut down every time they try their shenanigans. It happened with the GTX 970, then the GPP, and now this. Slowly but surely, the time of honoring themselves will be at an end. And hopefully, that translates into actually better products rather than extorting reviewers and overcharging their customers.
And everyone else watching (including AMD and Intel) are definitely paying attention right now.
