I assumed this was to make GPUs more affordable for users with gaming use cases in mind.



In a way... I can actually see this as fair. What's the difference between the 4090 rtx and the 6000 ada? 5x the price for 2x the memory? Ridiculous. But then you have to factor in all the R&D dollars Nvidia poured into their compute/non-graphics ecosystem which now easily eclipses the gaming one, probably by a factor of 10 or more, and suddenly it doesn't seem so ridiculous. You either a) don't get 4090 level of a graphics card anymore... or b) you do get it, but only if it's nerfed for non-graphics uses... Nvidia wants its big R&D bucks back (and then some) and its gonna get em


No, it is to make GPUs more expensive for users with professional use cases in mind.
