I don't believe this list was curated as the title suggests. It's just a semi-random list of popular-ish GPUs with LLM-generated descriptions. The site looks nice, which fools us into thinking thought and effort was put into this.

  Isn’t this a bit like spell-checking a Nigerian Prince email? The valuable eyeballs are the ones that don’t notice or don’t care.

    Sure, If ranking is done purely based on clicks and not quality. I'm just thinking of it as a meta "loss" function in the AI context. So I'd say its the passionate enthusiasts who care enough to provide feedback on such topics.

  > uses human feedback and comments to correct the output tbf, lots of saas have a similar attitude with things like "give us feedback" on their pages; like i'm paying you money to figure this stuff out so why are you asking me if its good or not? with more and more "vibing" i feel this kind of attitude is going to infect everything at some point...

It does start with the Voodoo, so I got what I came for.

  It didn't start with the Verite, so I didn't get what I came for. :(

  They do which is fine. Where's my Matrox? Matrox Mystique was a combination 2D/3D consumer card, which at the time, was still something that mattered. Sure a Voodoo addon card mattered more, very soon, but then quickly things shifted back to combination 2D/3D card with Nvidia! Also, how is a "first $2000 consumer card" something that "matters"? That's precisely the kind of thing that doesn't matter. My entire laptop cost less than that and I play games with it. What matters much more is that I can play quite a bunch of games that are even pretty recent with a laptop that cost less than that, all with an integrated graphics chip from a company that is precisely known for having abysmal 3D performance: Intel (I have an Iris Xe)

    Indeed. It was, sadly, more important than popular. Which, to my eyes, comfort the generated content theory.

  Should have started with ANTIC - the very first programmable video chip I'm aware of...

Considering they list multiple version of the same generation of card, like the GTX 1080 and GTX 1080TI. This list is just a list of popular cards over the last 30 years
