Weird to call it a gaming gpu when they are specifically targeting production workflows like Blender for now.

Can you please tell me in which part of the video they say this is a gaming GPU? Because at 3m30 he says directly they are targeting content creators and production.

Sry, the video was longer than 30 seconds. I zoned out. They should have made it into a short.

I thought this was just another bunk startup but it was legit.

How do u know it’s legit?

I meant it has potential to be a real product, in my opinion.

We’ll see. More competition the better

They don't rely on proprietary hardware choices, VRAM can be upgraded. Dual PCI slots. They have contracts with fabs.

But as the video points out, for gaming, drivers are everything and you can bet nVidia will fuck with game developers, or they may not care because the Wang sees only AI in the future.

Looks scamless enough
