Nsidia Executives Arrested After Synthetic GPU Switcheroo

After a disappointing series of quarters following last years Series 200K GPU's, Nsidia's hardware benchmark promises are almost too good to be true. That's because they probably are. The upcoming series of graphics cards are currently due to ship December 20XX, almost a year later than scheduled, allegedly due to a chip shortage spurred by recent tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

But teardown images of the components are circulating on the web, and they're not the engineering samples handed out late last year. Instead Nsidia has used generative imagery to produce the material it says its latest line of graphics cards are specialised for.

Spokespersons for the company claim the renderings are completely accurate to the real deal - but that's obviously at least somewhat untrue, as the exploded teardowns make use of synthetically generated artistic textures on the components.

Even optimistic enthusiasts made note that the photos, which are the first bit of material marketing the new line of cards, are no substitute for the real deal. Youtuber SlowMoLazers, whose youtube channel banner prominently features his Nsidia sponsored rig, tweeted "Team Green always give their best, but its time to stop playin' ".

Nsidia Interim CEO Twister Jones claimed "we've invested a lot into this new round of chips, why not show our confidence by marketing it with tools its designed for". Nsidia claims all the internal component imagery was generated exclusively using software running on the new generation of cards.

But many consumer hardware enthusasts are losing interest, the fact that no itemized benchmarks have been released for common software like Blender and Godot have left some of the most likely prospective customers for the cards feeling nervous and uncertain.

While undoubtedly a treat on the eyes, that we are 2 months away from the initial intended launch, and the teardowns aren't available raise a lot of red flags, especially for organisations that were keen to replace the aging 190Ks, top of the line four years ago but noticeably losing driver support in recent times.
