Yes, and NViDIA didn't care when it was all selling to gamers. Now it wants crypto bros (obv a little historical there) and ML people who are using it to make money to pay a higher price point. So they do it by restricting the options available at the affordable level. See also, what happens when you want to use group administration features in Windows.
- pirate787 3y agoMost crypto is Proof of Stake -- how much GPU market is there really for Nvidia?
- HWR_14 3y agoNot much anymore (hence my historical comment)
- piltdownman 3y agoNVIDIA did care when it was all selling to gamers - although at least they had the decency to use ECC memory and some other CAD relevant bits, as well as signed production-ready drivers. They've just transitioned from QUADRO to RTX as ML became the dominant professional tier.

- pdpi 3y agoI think they're saying that Microsoft uses features like group admin as differentiating factors between Windows variant so that they can sell professional/enterprise-oriented variants for a higher price than Home. So, same sort of "pro features in the pricier Pro variants" logic.
