I order 100 cards a month. That’s $115,000 A MONTH I’m not buying from Team green. The only reason, Nvidia just got lazy. It’s at the top, so they said, why try. Gamers will never push their cards “that far” so crap thermal pads are ok. But it’s not ok for me. It’s lazy. It’s cheap. It’s what Nvidia is becoming. 3080 and up, prove the point. Their mentality of “just let them run hot” is unbelievable. Who makes such a great product, puts such high end DDR6X on them, then, screw it with a cheap thermal pad. LIke… really? Fine whatever. I can change pads. Put some decent paste on them. No worries.
But this no memory temps in linux? This is just down right laziness. There isn’t any excuse. Temps are the FIRST thing you’d put in. I mean it has to be there, if it thermal throttles it has to know the temps, you telling me it takes months on end to the 12th of never to expose them on the api for linux? What a crying shame nvidia has become.
And it’s us now. Miners pushing the cards and gamers who want to run their cards at levels THEY PAID FOR. And they cheap out on us in the linux driver. Why simply no excuse. But you other areas, AI, Deep compute and the likes, they are cheaping out on them as well. Compute in several cases has a memory load, I know, i run them, never mind render farms and guess what, they need to know their memory temps as well. But those guys are just not as vocal as miners who are “pushing them the hardest” most likely. But my render farm needs this and would save us so much trouble.
I’m sorry, but nvidia should of been “Oh you guys need memory temps in linux, give us a week” i mean come on, it’s nvidia, you guys release WHOLE drivers at the drop of some B-list game. I get it, huge market. But those guys buying gpus 100k+ at a time, we get the middle finger? I don’t know if Nvidia just so big it’d rather this money flow go to team red, you know after you piss off enough people, that pile of cash gets pretty big going the other way.
I would be buying team green, but i will not place another 100 nvidia gpu order with my distributor until nvidia fixes this. and if they don’t… no worries, AMD is taking care of what we need and they funny thing is, we getting about the same hash rate perhaps 4-5% slower but 8-12% cheaper. Sooo, no sweat off my back. High five @user113775
