Why, when it comes to cars, people think about their needs, maintanance, etc to find the cheapest acceptable option, but when it comes to GPUs, they go:

:poogers: :poogers: :poogers:  4090 platinum edition with liquid nitro cooling. Otherwise, can you really even play the games? 

 @1b150101 @6788c216 Yeah, the price to performance ratio is abysmal so you can only justify it if you make money using.
However it is that way because Nvidia segmented the gpus that way and the market accepted. It used to be that the 80 gpu was the best silicon. 

 @7fe79fc3 @6788c216 
Yes, but I still just don't see the problem. :D

Industrial tools should be avaiable and known about publically. Why hide them? 

 @1b150101 @6788c216 I agree, but Nvidia does that a lot with various software locks and licenses but that's a different topic.

Nvidia still makes the best gpus so it's only logical they can charge whatever they want, which also means they have a de facto monopoly.
