Nvidia will stop price gouging you for their cards and features when you stop buying them. (lemmy.one)

Sorry if I'm not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

In this particular case, it's a bit more complicated.

I suspect the majority of 30x0 & 40x0 card sales continue to be for non-gaming or hybrid uses. I suspect that if pure gamers stopped buying them today for months, it wouldn't make much of a difference to their bottom line.

Until there's reasonable competition for training AI models at reasonable prices, people are going to continue buying their cards because it's the most cost-effective thing -- even at the outrageous prices.

China is still buying gimped cards because what other choice do they have

Exactly. The only other choices here are to buy used with a risk or wait longer to upgrade.
