That would be a downgrade for me. And you know, same company...

And if you buy it used, nVidia doesn't get any of that money.

Sure, if your understanding of economy is based off of a lemonade stand a dollar a cup..

"Used" is not "same company" because you're not buying from said company.

You still gotta use their shitty NVIDIA experience app (bloated with ads that make NVIDIA money when you open it), and you buying a used NVIDIA card increases demand (and thus prices) on all NVIDIA cards.

If you are a gamer and not doing AI stuff then buying a non-NVIDIA card is entirely an option.

GeForce Experience app is dead thank goodness with no account or sign in required anymore.

Good fucking riddance
