Why Everyone keeps Buying Nvidia even when they insult us

With how much discourse goes online of how bad Nvidia is and how this generation is one step away from highway robbery... you would think that people wouldn't be buying Nvidia...... but with anything on the internet, it doesn't reflect reality. Step out and some of the worst Nvidia GPUs like the RTX 4060 Ti are actually extremely popular. Seems like even with the Nvidia tax- many choose to spend more and get Nvidia over AMD or Intel for their graphics cards.

In this, we just breakin it down: the reasons why, how these companies could perceivably improve, and is it just better to go Nvidia????

It's not that average people are buying 4060's themselves, they're buying prebuilts with 4060's in them. On top of that, you have to factor in Internet Cafe's.

The thing is...your average joe doesn't know or care enough about stuff like that. They see amd and immediately think of bad drivers. They see intel and ask themselves "who tf is that" (talking about the gpu market). So they are left with nvidia. At which point they go "what is my budget?" and purchase the first card they see

Lots of dealers across small markets kept AMD prices higher than Nvidia on purpose. It was the only way they could sell so outrageously priced GeForce. And they had A LOT of Nvidia cards.

[baka_ja_nai]

Because AMD is as greedy as Nvidia and price matches them instead of going for the throat even when they have good GPUs.
AMD intentionally ignores opportunities to grow it's market share.

[tomthomas]

Like Hub said, people want AMD to be competitive so that they can buy cheaper Nvidia instead, but in reality even after some aggresive price cuts no one actually buying Radeon, yet we still act surprised whenever Nvidia launched overpriced products, the blame is on us by keep buying their products 😂

[HanSolo__]

People don't measure the performance of AMD and Nvidia cards 1 to 1.
They take AMD native FPS and put it against
Nvidia with DLSS turned ON 100% of the time - FPS.

Nvidia low end is overpriced because of overhyped high end and "exclusive" tech.

[Dalkian]

Reviewers keep emphasizing 1440p, but forget that 1080p is still the most popular resolution.
It's not hard to see why it is so popular when you really think about it.
1. A lot of consumers don't know enough, but brand familiarity sways in nvidias favor.
2. Their budget doesn't allow for anything stronger.
3. They might have upgraded from an ancient system, meaning it is a massive improvement for them.
4. The increase in power draw combined with the increase in prices of electricity over the last few years also affects gpu choices.
5. Access to dlss.
6. The games they play might not need anything stronger than that.
7. They play at 1080p to make their system last for as long as possible, this includes tweaking the settings to what they feel is optimal for them.
8. The prebuilt section taking up a sizeable chunk since a lot of people don't know how to build a pc by themselves.

Another thing is availability, it took me MONTHS to find a well priced amd gpu as every store in my country didn't bother to sell them, and who did they just sold it with a very overpriced price. While nividia 4060 was being sold at a very VERY competitive price its crazy

[Integroabysal]

The problem is the fact that most ppl buy prebuild PCs and in the prebuild PCs and i mean the prebuilt ones that you go to the shop and straight up buy them without touching pc builder on the sites or stuff like that, 4060ti is more represented than 7700xt, i can find like 25 variations of prebuild PCs that have 4060ti installed in it while only 5 that have 7700xt and they usually only go with ryzen cpus and not intel. And to be fair, the TDP is also a factor, yeah 7700xt is faster, while drawing 100w more power that means not only your pc draws more power but it also produces more heat, witch can be detrimental in countries with 45C temperatures in the summer cause not only your video card is drawing more power but it also produces more heat witch in terms affect your cooling bill too

[HerbertMuller-ekiu]

I would say its the prebuilds, not a lot of people build they're own pcs and the 4060ti pcs are often at that 800-1000$ price point.

[meudta]

So with good marketing you can sell literally shit 💩

If it's about gaming only AMD wins easily, but when it comes to productivity, it's hard not to go Nvidia. My friends don't just game on their PCs, they do editing, 3D design, a 16GB 4060ti isn't as bad of a card when it is on sale. Most people want to buy new and are afraid of buying 2nd hand cards so there are even less options around 400-450 euro.

[bas_t]

It's because of the brainrot market. Nvidia's consumer market is now very similar to apples consumer market. People do 0 research and jump straight to the most popular company, I mean it's the most popular right? So surely its the best, literal Chiwawa's who follow the loudest voice. Then you have people with brains who do a little research because they value their money. It's not like you have to spend hours either, just a few google searches, some reviews on YT and bam. You've most likely found a card that you need.

[braydoncrawford]

Personally - I've always owned nvidia Gpu's and intel cpu's. Ran a gtx1060 then 1080ti for 8 years or more and the 1080ti is still used as a 2nd pc today..

Recently built a new pc - Went with 7900 XTX and a 7800x3d after doing a lot of research and could not be happier
The performance has been amazing i couldn't care less about raytracing although i have used it with the 7900xtx
I think i have had 2 or 3 crashes after many hours of gameplay (500+) and honestly it could have just been game issues .
Its never been something i can re-create was just a random crash

Hats off to AMD i reckon - More ppl need to give them a go!

80% of GPU sales are through other companies that install these cards in already finished computers and the user gets a finished computer.
How many people are there in this world and how many subscribers does each tech channel that deals in detail with hardware have? Usually around 200-300k but up to 2-3 million max. We here are less than 1% of PC users. What we think is so in this circle. Outside it is totally different. See 1 company that favors AMD graphics over nVidia.

[EroFelipe]

It's quite simple, we gamers are fools, we live in a monopoly, technically an oligopoly, in the CPU and GPU markets and we simply don't care, we are the embodiment of the meme "Don't ask questions just consume product and then get excited for next products", At least finding your channel was something cool in the last few weeks.

[yasu_red]

Something that bothers me a lot are people who buy a lackluster RTX card just because it has DLSS like it's some kind of silver bullet, even if the similarly priced AMD GPU is still faster when using native resolution. Not saying this applies to every price point, but it certainly applies to some.

[chacharealsmooth]

the average Joe doesn't care about those presentations and lies companies do to promote their products, neither they care to hunt to down graphical downgrades when using upscaling.
It's mostly about brand names.
