Nvidia’s stronghold on PC gaming and AMD’s failure to save us
PC gaming has long been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries when it comes to performance, choice, and innovations. We've seen all the vintage packaging that graphics cards and other PC parts used to be shipped within, but the actual hardware was also fairly experimental for its time. Building a new system or upgrading a specific part, such as the aforementioned GPU, never used to cost an arm and a leg, but times have most certainly changed since the days of ATI and Nvidia. We're now experiencing platform lock-in, rising costs, and creep control. Nvidia has the upper hand when it comes to software and flagship hardware, but AMD has made ground and continues to try and undercut the competition.
