Die Shrink 78: From Fermi to Ampere – Ranking Nvidia’s GPU Generations (Patreon)

This week we discuss Nvidia's mainstream gaming architectures that have dominated during the past 10 years - Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, and Ampere. Which generation impressed us the most for its time?  Which one had the biggest "win" over AMD?  Which one sucked the most?!

We also summarize some key takeaways on how Nvidia does business, and what they're willing to do to "win."
