Aren't consumer GPU shipments the lowest they've been in over a decade?
- ls612 3y agoYes but it’s hard to disentangle the effect of the crypto crisis ending last year, the pandemic boom in consumer hardware sales coming to a close, and the pricing of Ada from one another. So many GPUs were sold to miners and made their way to the secondary market that gamers have lots and lots of options that aren’t new sales.
- ghaff 3y agoMaybe. But the traditional gaming market doesn't have a lot of growth and I have to believe the high-end may be a dedicated niche but it's a niche.
- ls612 3y agoLooking at Steam concurrent player count it is continuing to ride a steady escalator upwards to I don't think PC gaming as a hobby is gonna shrink anytime soon. My guess is that in a year or two you'll see a big rebound in sales as all of the pandemic hardware starts to get old.
