Kudos to owning up to your failed bet on GPUs even if you are putting a lot of blame on Nvidia for it. And to be fair, you're not wrong. Nvidia's artificial market segmentation is terrible and their drivers aren't that great either.
The real problem is the lack of security-isolated slicing one or more GPUs for virtual machines. I want my consumer-grade GPU to be split up into the host machine and also into virtual machines, without worrying about resident neighbor cross-talk! Gosh that sounds like why I moved out of my apartment complex, actually.
The idea of having to assign a whole GPU via PCI passthrough is just asinine. I don't need to do that for my CPU, RAM, network, or storage. Why should I need to do it for my GPU?
