More like " I refuse to be held hostage by your delusional business model" more like.
I bought two GTX 970's, and a GTX 1030.
Then I did the research on how they actually worked and the nefarious things the company got up to in order to spoliate open source drivers. The minute they switched to secritful Falcon units, is when any pretense of good faith was thrown out the door. They cheated me out of 3 graphics cards worth of functionality.
I can accept "not yet implemented". I will not accept "predatory board forces you to do business with me forever". No mad conception of IP justifies that.

Yes, it is my fault, but dare I say, how many 20 somethings do you know that come chock full of sufficient life experience to identify hostile/predatory business models? I don't see many at all. And for that matter, in order to get the information I now have, I had to dive through half-a-dozen search engines in order to find architecture information that was NDA'd, but nevertheless left open to be indexed by someone. So yeah. There's uninformed, but goddamn if that doesn't seem to be Nvidia's modus operandi.

In fact they work with open source drivers such as nouveau and mesa. >They cheated me out of 3 graphics cards worth of functionality. The cards work fine with Nvidia's drivers. You are only cheating yourself if you refuse to use them for some reason.
