Competition lol. Nvidia is a monopoly now, they don't give a hoot about Intel's and AMD's GPU "competitors" and will continue selling overpriced products with a 80% market share.

Agree. I disable TAA when possible most of the times.
Then don't buy their overpriced products?
It's the only way to figure out if they are overpriced or overspecced. Probably both.
TAA is indeed worse. There’s no winning in this game. If I disable TAA using the config file, the image becomes noisy and the aliasing is all messed up.
TAA is just awful generally. I wish they’d get rid of it.
Falling GPU prices are thing of "the past", Nvidia says
Earlier this week, Nvidia announced its next series of GeForce RTX cards - and raised eyebrows at how much some of them…

Exactly this. If people stop buying them then NV will have to decrease prices, but aslong as people are willing to pay more and more, NV (and other companies like Sony, Apple, AMD, Intel etc) will gladly increase prices.
its the same with phones, here in EU we pay 1600euros for a base model iphone 14 pro max, 500 or so up from last year. Doesnt stop people from getting this in masses. They just know they can ask more so they do.
TAA is the worst of the bunch, DLSS quality is quite good but still no native in motion. I use it in conjunction with 2077 since that game is quite heavy on the gpu when you want this tad more RT fidelity.
He has pointed out before that RT is a number one priority. His 3060Ti is miles head of the PS5 in ray tracing, while also being faster at normal raster. He also mentioned before that he got the gpu at a nice deal. Coupled to a Zen3/R5 cpu, nvme and enough main ram. He then wants to get a PS5 instead of that system because a 3080/90 isnt giving him enough of a performance upgrade. I wont have to explain whats going on there.
Users on a >3060Ti arent going to see much of an upgrade because they already have a capable modern GPU, in special when your looking at a 3080 or 3090 which are in the same generation.

Sounds like a partial if not wholefully excuse.
Moores law is dead has little to do with 1600 dollar GPU's. Moores law may slow down somewhat in normal raster (tbh i think raster increases are still acceptable, about what it has been before), though RT and AI is where its at these days, and theres room for improvement there each generation. You cant say 'moores law is dead' when you have a 4090 being twice as fast in normal raster vs a 3090Ti 4x the RT performance, xx times the ML acceleration and other added features and efficiency increases (tsmc 4nm). These gpus clock a ghz higher...
Gamers where willing to pay scalpers fantasy prices the past two years, they have shown the willingness to pay for their gpus.
Its the same with Apple increasing the price by a whopping 500/600usd for the EU market due to 'reasons', same for Sony upping the prices on consoles, games and services. Its because they can and they know people will buy into it.

Im good with the 2080Ti. This bubble of increasing prices (not just nv) will implode sometime, not about when but if.

Or they can just, you know, not aim at 4090 and get something slower and cheaper.
Its also that. You know youre in a luxury world when people arent statisfied with 3070 level of performance.... Which a 4060/4070 would deliver and then some.
Not sure what point you're trying to make. Nvidia advertised SER performance increases in real games. If it relies on a proprietary extension it will see limited adoption in real games. The other examples you mentioned - mesh shaders, tessellation and VRS are all available via standard apis. Btw I'm pretty sure tessellation is widely used, it's just not a special thing anymore so nobody talks about it.
Yah, you're probably right that it's a design issue and not my colour blindness. The problem with colour blindness is you lose the ability to detect a lot of different hues. So any time I look at something and can't tell the difference I just assume it's because I can't detect the difference in hues, but in this case it was probably just the brightness. I can easily distinguish the 1st and the 4th from the rest, but 2 and 3 look the same, especially in the small boxes above.
Not really sure but I'd expect NVAPI adoption to be pretty high, because it gives you access to the driver and the gpu to query states, metrics. I'd be more concerned about the other two RT accelerators because they require significant changes to the renderer.

He honestly doesn't seem to give much of a crap about PC gaming tbh. That came across in the GTC video which gave a few minutes to the Geforce and spend the vast majority talking about their AI applications. It seems pretty clear that's were Nvidia is putting the vast majority of its focus now with gaming just being an afterthought.
Unless AMD or Intel come through for gamers then I can see this being my last generation as a PC gamer.
That said, I find it hard to believe AMD won't release something faster and cheaper than the Ampere range in a few weeks so I may well make the jump back over there if they do.
This could be AMD's chance to breakthrough, if they price them much lower for equal raster performance but acceptable RT performance. That might put some pressure on NV for sure.
Yeah however if you switch to console, you could aswell go for mid-range GPU's for the PC, matching or somewhat exceeding the console specs/experience while having pc gaming's advantages.
And yes, i dont think AMD has to compete with Ada, their main competitor is Ampere since Ada is too far away to become mainstraim. NV has a mountain of Ampere backlog that needs to be cleared which is probably partially the price problem.
