Why do people still buy Nvidia when their older generations get gimped so hard?

There isn't anything gimp'd about the Fermi, red rooster.
Gimpd drivers
Scared to buy the 1070 because Nvidia mite nuke the drivers to encourage me to buy a new card
Do the cards actually perform worse than they used to, or do AMD cards just get better?
Or do Nvidia cards perform the same in old games but get less optimization for new games?

That happens when things get old. Millions of logic gates get fried and effective processing speed gets lowered due to computational errors.
>>54437281
both, slightly
nvidia is confirmed to nerf older cards each generation so that the newer ones look better by comparison
amd is confirmed to at least try to constantly make their cards perform better, to give their customers better value
one is a brilliant marketting strategy
one is morally appreciable
take your pick

Those are people that not only don't mind the colossal 3.5 GB disaster, but also insist it is not a problem and continue recommending the worst graphics card released since the HD 2900 series.
There's no reasoning with them. If Nvidia decides to sell a literal piece of shit for $330 to replace the GTX 970, they will still buy it and defend vehemently that their Nvidia Piece of Shit if better than the R9 4xx that competes with it.

i know what you are talking about.
i got 1 of my friends to buy an r9 290.
his r9 290 fried up after 2,5 years on the pci-e plug and the cause was rather unknown if it might be the PSU or the GPU.
he gets told to buy an gtx 970 instead and rants on amd whenever i'm available

I want to ____ that fox.
Because I do Cuda programming
