Well this is it isn't it. Nvidia is not a company that sells GPUs for gaming. It's a company that sells GPUs for machine learning in the data centre now. That's driving basically its entire business. So quite naturally the gaming side is being left behind. There are two ways of looking at that. Disappointment that gaming is no longer the focus, or excitement, that your gaming GPUs are going to get a load of cool hardware for free because Nvidia had to build it for ML. Sure, those ML workloads are kind of weird, but software engineers are smart and just wait until they get Crysis running on it.
- pjmlp 3y agoActually many game devs are looking forward to compute, that is how stuff like nanite comes to life. MSL is C++14 with extensions, and HLSL is going into that direction due to similar reasoning.
- dvngnt_ 3y agothey just worked with cdpr to add path tracing to their game that requires their latest GPU to work best. they're still heavily invested in gaming even though their products have a high markup
