This completely ignores the cash cow that is gaming, which has made them far more money than crypto ever did.
AI is a little different for now, we'll see how it holds up.
- PaulHoule 3y agoThat article says that gaming cash has been eclipsed by A.I. in the short term but you could say the gaming market is more of a sure thing in the long term.
- moogly 3y agoNot at these GPU prices. Over time, that might force people away from PC gaming, and Nvidia is not powering high-end consoles.
- 8f2ab37a-ed6c 3y agoGeForce Now is really solid though, I've already moved most of my gaming to that. They could ride that wave as well.
- PaulHoule 3y agoIt could let them push for higher gfx card pricing since the cards would have a higher duty cycle and deliver more value in a cloud environment but unfortunately I am in the wrong side of a DSL connection. I am disappointed that nobody in cloud gaming has made a game that using the monsterous GPU instances in the cloud to synthesize a super-complex world and generate video for multiple players simultaneously but I think a system like that would not really beat highly optimized single players and furthermore optimizing it to the point where they could really deliver a “skip three generations” kind of experience would be expensive and risky.
- nightski 3y agoI don't think ML is driving consumer GPU prices, although I could be wrong. They are selling 3080s and below primarily for gaming. Maybe an argument could be made for the 3090/4090, but even then that is extreme solo enthusiast territory. It's clearly the higher end chips that are bringing in the AI revenue.
