The cynic in me wonders if NVidia is not interested in working with valve as now they are in direct competition with GeForce NOW.
Although I have a deck and an ultimate sub and love both of them.
I doubt I'll be buying a big gaming PC again for a long while while I have access to both.

What's coming down the pipe? The only problems I'm really noticing on the 4090, Stuttering on KDE when opening and application, enabling Ray tracing on Witcher 3 cause it to crash, and no dlss3 frame generation. Do you have a link to an article about what's coming up?
