You're saying all other use cases besides gaming together is niche compared to gaming itself? Not sure about that, a lot of NVIDIA cards are used in both the creative and engineering industries. And when they buy cards, they usually buy a lot of cards, not just one per device, as gamers do. If you observe NVIDIA movements and actions, you'll see that they are starting to focus a lot more on B2B than they ever did before. Almost like their B2C is not the main focus anymore, just a good PR piece for them.

Well, Nvidia has only about 18% of the whole GPU market [1] share but around 76% of the gaming market share on Steam. I'd be very surprised if gaming didn't represented the majority of Nvidia's revenue of selling GPUs.

  Counting integrated graphics, it might have a lower market share. But when it comes to discrete graphics (which most people on the gaming scene, including all the other sectors, actually run), nvidia has 83% of the market share according to [1]. Going by public information(https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-second-quarter-fiscal-2022 https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financia...), "graphics" is still the majority of their income at about 58% (other part being "Compute & Networking" at 42%). However, "graphics" also include "the Quadro/NVIDIA RTX GPUs for enterprise design, GRID software for cloud-based visual and virtual computing, and automotive platforms for infotainment systems.", none of which are gaming use cases. Question is if those represent more than 10% of the "graphics" revenue or not. My guess is yes. And even if 1% of consumer graphic cards are being sold for the non-gaming use cases, it seems pretty clear that the demand in the non-gaming use cases seems even bigger than gaming ones. Also note that from the press release linked above, there are only a few lines dedicated to gaming. The rest is all about non-gaming use cases.
