It's in line with what I was expected. There was no way in hell Intel could leapfrog Ngridia and AMD Radeon on its first try. People expecting otherwise were dreaming. It was just not gonna happen.
Even those two GPU giants had shipped massive flops throughout their lives (Ngridia with the FX 5000 series and AMD more often and more recently, ironically also unde Raja Kaduri) but they also had decades of experience to refine their development and testing processes and buff out any issues before release, iteration after iteration. Intel is relatively new to this, of course they were gonna fumble.
I hope they can suck up this failure and come back swinging with the next gen. Consumers and gamers could really use a third player. GPUs are now costing way more than entire gaming consoles.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoWhich typos? Nvidia wordplay on greed was intentional as it reflects their anti consumer attitude.
- NBJack 4y agoIt doesn't come through well, and it is phonetically confusing (perhaps doubly so for those with English as a second language). In an age of mobile touchscreen keyboards, it just looks like a bad autocorrect.
- bilegeek 4y agoIt would have worked better if it was something more blatant, like "Ngreedia".
- bravetraveler 4y agoAgreed, I assumed they had some DC product relating to grids or something
- kalimanzaro 4y ago"Nvidia" is already punning on a deadly sin, Envy. ("Invidia" in Latin.) Ever wonder why they chose that obnoxious shade of green for their logo? Now you know:)
