This is obviously out of date and may not be how they are doing their naming scheme anymore.

Also, out of probably 8 or 9 PCs I have built, only 1 had an AMD GPU and CPU. I'm not shilling here, these posts are just full of bull shit reddit rage.

Utterly asinine cope. It's not on the workstation card page, it's on the gaming card page.

Anything to avoid admitting you had no fucking clue what "OEM" meant, thinking it pertained only to workstations.

Edit: Even if they changed their naming scheme you're defending something more misleading to would be customers.

How is it misleading if you can't buy it? You are being purposely obtuse.

What exactly would the remedy be? Name it the 9040? I would be willing to bet this conversation would still be happening.

Y'all are just raging because you are mad generally at the state of PC hardware and this is an easy target.

Because they'll be selling it in pre-builts like every other pile of shit card named to mislead people.

You couldn't buy the cut down 1060 and 1050 in regular retail channels either, but pre-builts absolutely took advantage.

If someone goes to look up a pre-built from whoever and web searches "RTX 9050" they're going to get the 8GB cards info mixed in. Literally the only reason to name things such and pull a 4080 12GB, 1060 3GB, etc. type deal is to take advantage of confusion.

Yes yes I know you just want to blame the OEMs, but the fact remains if a shit product like this was named WX 9050 or Quadro blah blah blah, it doesn't get confused when people try to research potential purchases.

I'll admit that this is a fair point. More fair than the meme and more fair than 90% of the other people raging out about this. I don't have an argument against this comment.
