Its moreso for OEM system integrators, who can buy up thousands of these 5060ti's and sell them in systems as 5060Ti's, and the average Joe who buys prebuilts won't know to go looking at the bottom half of the tech sheet to see if its an 8 or 16.
As well as yes, direct scamming consumers, because Jensen needs more leather jackets off the AI craze and couldn't give a rats ass about gamers.
Ngl gamers don't deserve respect.
I agree that they don't give half a shit about their actual product, but their biggest competitor has never been more competitive, and Nvidia knows it. Pissing off your costumer base when you don't have a monopoly is fucking stupid, and Nvidia and the prebuilt manufacturers knows this. It's business 101.
There's gotta be something else. I know businesses aren't known for making long term plans, because all that will ever matter to them is short term profits. But this is just way too stupid to be because of that.
That something else is that they don't need the gamer market. Providing consumer cards is literally an inconvenience for them at this point, they make 2 billion a quarter from gaming cards but 18 billion on datacenter compute, with some insane 76% gross margins on those products they sell (to continue funding R&D).
And just like that gamers are not a priority
Amd and Intel need to work harder tho
