> NVidia may have focused on the high end too much. They have a card for the machine learning crowd that costs $16,000. Here's the thing about gaming vs content creation vs ml pricing -- they're fundamentally different activities from a financial standpoint. Gaming (for the VAST majority) is a cost center. How much are you willing to spend on it? Content creation, and now ml, are profit centers. How much do you make from it? The latter question is directly related to your business. If you're running financial trading models and the card makes you 5% faster, that 5% may be worth USD$1M. If you're running a 1 acre farm, maybe it's worth $3. But by hardening and popularizing CUDA and GPGPU, Nvidia upscaled their most wealthy buyer from sfx studio to any company that makes predictions. It's a heck of a lot easier to deliver 1% improvement to a $100M company, than to deliver a 200% improvement to a $500k company.
