They'll pay for it, anyway, $1.6bi. I'm pretty sure that there's a way to spend $1.6bi to make GPUs and sell it in the long-tail consumer spectrum without bitting your sales. And create the desire, on those users, to upgrade to a better GPU in the future.
Or don't even make money about it, just ensure that your competitors will have to lose money too.
