- NVIDIA's RTX 50 series continues to use the flawed 12VHPWR connector, which can still melt due to design issues.
- NVIDIA changed the shunt resistor design from RTX 40 series, making it impossible to detect uneven power distribution, leading to potential melting issues.
- NVIDIA's proprietary technologies like DLSS, CUDA, NVENC, and G-Sync create vendor lock-in, making it hard for competitors to compete.
- DLSS is marketed as essential for high-end GPUs, but it often results in blurry images and fake performance metrics.
- NVIDIA has been accused of manipulating reviews and withholding drivers to control the narrative around their GPUs.
- The RTX 50 series lacks support for 32-bit PhysX, causing performance issues in older games.
- NVIDIA's focus on AI and upscaling technologies like DLSS and frame generation masks the lack of raw performance improvements in their GPUs.
- NVIDIA's market dominance allows them to set high prices and control game development trends, disadvantaging competitors and consumers.
- AMD and Intel struggle to compete with NVIDIA, leaving consumers with limited choices and higher costs.
- NVIDIA's practices, including proprietary tech and review manipulation, are criticized for harming the PC gaming ecosystem.
