You can want brand loyalty. If Nvidia cards are soaked up in mining & game devs start optimizing more heavily for AMD gpus, suddenly Nvidia loses market capture of gaming gpus & end up at the whim of crypto. Miners are also much less brand loyal, someone comes out with a better hashrate/$ card & you've lost your customers
So there's arguments for miners not being a diverse customer base that would encourage wanting to keep gamers in line. But I'm saying this without knowing any details, so I don't know
- zokier 6y agoThere is also the thing that nvidia wants to get people on board the RTX train as quickly as possible, that is fairly long term strategic initiative. And miners absolutely do not help there.
