“We heard gamers crying out for a $300 graphics card. We heard you, and we have wonderful news for you.”
“Today we are introducing our most amibious flagship graphics card, the all-new RTX 9000 Video-Card-as-a-Service for only $295.”
“The new RTX 9000 VCaaS is breathtaking. This stunning card will take advantage of all optimizations that gamers require, and continue to take advantage of new AI, new crypto mining, new EFT, new blendering, new scam protection, full performance access to GeForce Now that standard subscribers can’t get, automatic machine-learning slang translation to help you aging gamers understand the vernacular of younger gamers, and new access to YouTube 2 that standard peasants can’t get to. This graphics card not only traces rays, it replaces rays by leveraging new AI algorithms to synergize and align with our increasing gamers’ needs.”

“Note: Users without a subscription can still enjoy the all-new RTX 9000 VCaaS for 2 years of standard driver support before we obsolete that shit.

Stay tuned for our upcoming 1337 Subscription, which actually leverages new AI Raytracing to particle-accelerate your body so that it can ascend into the ethereal plane where the PC Master Race resides, and ambient occlusion and chromatic abberation is plentiful.”
Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if they implemented a PCIe module that was essentially a glorified TPM to access their streaming services—one that didn’t work and would prevent your computer from POSTing without a subscription.
Yawn. Call me when they release something under $300.
Fastforward to 2028.
Jensen Huang, salivating:
Delete this shit right now before they see it
lol. Trust me that I hated myself for writing that, but I went all in on that joke

That last sentence almost made me spit out my coffee, kudos to that
