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.
Ok…they do. They get increased market share, which is measurable and valuable to shareholders, increasing stock value and increasing company liquidity.

Okay losers, time for you to spend obscene amounts to do your part in funding the terrible shit company nvidia.
Way better investment to buy their stock rather than one of their GPUs, IMO.
Okay loser, so what GPU should we buy then?
A used 2080.
That would be a downgrade for me. And you know, same company…
“Used” is not “same company” because you’re not buying from said company.

GeForce Experience app is dead thank goodness with no account or sign in required anymore.
Good fucking riddance
NVCleanInstall is our friend :)
Market share is not as simple as measuring directly sold products.
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…
If I buy a used card from an individual, nVidia doesn’t get a penny. How is that complicated?
