Dear Mr. Jensen Huang,

Sally forth and receive carnal knowledge unto thyself.

Respectfully,
Your Lost Customer

With that out of the way let me tell you that this GeForce 5090 RTX is the last NVIDIA product I bought. Maybe you don't care, but in the very unlikely case that you do, here's why:

Brute force hardware design

600W constant power draw to drive 1440p monitor at barely 60 FPS in path traced games is not only unacceptable, but also environmentally irresponsible. But you already knew that as you did much worse when you poured massive amounts of power-hungry GPUs into the hands of miners in the previous cycle and now keep doing the same but with "AI".

Datacenter focus

Consumer market at this point is just 12% of NVIDIA revenue so the writing is on the wall. Thanks to your greed PC gaming is almost dead, and so is professional 3D, video editing, CAD, and ray tracing.

Software support

I got this card in January 2025. It's February 2026 and 80% of software stack sitll doesn't support it even for AI/ML workloads. It's "too new" it seems and the news of 6000 series being delayed paint a very grim picture of what we can expect to get in the future. Drivers? What's that? Oh you mean the buggy mess you are shipping with ever declining frequency of updates? The "RTX ON" which crashes browsers if you enable video super resolution or HDR? Black screens? TDRs?

Conclusion

I used to like and enjoy using NVIDIA products, but this neglect of customers at these exorbitant prices we have to pay for top of the line silicon which then impersonates an expensive brick because year and a half later software support just didn't materialize is a bridge too far for me -- you can't pitch "AI is the future" if I can't even build xformers and triton for Blackwell yet. So once again, go fuck yourself along with everyone else in your team who's enabling this.
