gollark: GPU performance in games you play + pricing?
gollark: In a few years I think it'll be back on dedicated accelerator cards anyway.
gollark: Nvidia added real-time raytracing stuff to distract from the lack of significant generational price/performance improvement (because of poor competition in the market), and machine learning stuff for some reason, and then hyped them so much that they threw out stuff like "sanity" and "consistent branding".
