We're not at the peak of gpu bitcoin mining.
We're in the age of serverside GPGPU on the cloud.
"Looking at the GPU segment, the revenues have almost doubled over the past two years. This can primarily be attributed to Nvidia’s foray into data centers, expanding in both High Performance Computing and the cloud. The data center revenues were up a solid 133% in 2017, led by continued growth in its CUDA platform, and increased acceptance of its Volta architecture. "

- ksec 7y agoThe peak of bitcoin was when GPU marker were at their highest revenue. May be the word mining should not have been there. Given they are mostly gone to ASIC. Doubling GPGPU market from 2017 -2018 doesn't mean "he consumer/gaming market is nothing compared to the GPGPU market today" And even they managed to grow in 2019 again, it is still no where near close. Nvidia's revenue has been consistent over the years that their Gaming revenue is still the most important source of income and over 50% [1] of their revenue source.

- missosoup 7y agoFair point. The gaming revenue isn't negligible. It's half.
