Edward Snowden slams Nvidia's RTX 50-series 'F-tier value,' whistleblows on lackluster VRAM capacity

What the fuck is wrong with this timeline.

Do the amish accept atheists?

I'll wait for the Julian Assange review.

I can’t see the context because it’s freaking X, but I bet that’s in reference to local ML hosting.

There’s a big movement to get away from corporate AI, and I don’t need to explain the importance of that to the Lemmy crowd. But Nvidia is indeed artificially crippling consumer VRAM to stop them from being used for that too much, and protect their enterprise GPU market.

The most bizzare thing is that AMD is somehow implicit even though they have like zero market share in that space. 48GB 7900s (and so on) would have obliterated Nvidia and sold like hotcakes, much less actually using their modular memory controller architecture… But no? They restricted their OEMs from doing that because they… Don’t want money, I guess.

Don't that distract you from that fact that 2025 Edward Snowden threw Nvidia's RTX 50 series off Hell In A Cell and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

You depend on the cloud instead~

AMD is much of a scum as Nvidia is or Intel was, that’s why DeepSeek is something that came from China and you would need a new player completely outside of the current chain.
