It's Nvidia that considers them, "gaming cards". The market decides their use in reality though. Their strategy is to sell lower-VRAM cards to consumers with the understanding that they can make more money on their more expensive cards for professionals/business. By doing this, though they're creating a gap in the market that their competitors could fill (in theory). Of course, this assumes their competitors have half a brain cell (I'm looking at YOU, Intel! For fuck's sake give us a 64GB ARC card already!).
