- grimgrin 8y agoIt still kinda is. They didn’t skimp any more than they had to > Even though this system is not meant to be a gaming rig, there’s no harm in putting in the best GPU you can without blowing the thermals.
- zingmars 8y agoThese days with GPGPU (and crypto) becoming increasingly popular having a good GPU does not automatically imply gaming.
- Dylan16807 8y ago0% of people do (non crypto) GPGPU at home, and the post is lamenting crypto miners for driving prices up.
- whywhywhywhy 8y ago3D artists/motion graphics/video editors do. Check out Octane Render, Redshift, Realflow, After Effects, Premier etc for use cases.
- Dylan16807 8y agoDo those reach 1% of home users with GPUs?
- whywhywhywhy 8y agoMy point was it's not "0%"... Users exist.
- Dylan16807 8y ago0% is different from none. 0% means that it's a very small amount, not even enough to be 1%. The implication is that while it could be true, it's such a rarity that it is not in fact a counterargument to "GPU implies gaming".
- zingmars 8y agoI don't think there's a way to gather that statistic. Some people might suddenly get a project that involves software that leverages GPGPU, some might use it professionally, then there might be kids experimenting. Plus as the job market involving AIs grows, so does the GPGPU market.
