What market research underpins this?
- swiftcoder 1y agoSteam hardware survey suggests <15% of gaming PCs are running a high-end GPU. I'm defining "high-end" as "outperforms a top tier integrated GPU", which makes it 3070/4070/5070 or above on the NVidia side of things. That's a rough upper bound of 20 million on the whole market, and NVidia + AMD already have it buttoned up - a newcomer can expect to attract a tiny fraction thereof But I think more importantly, you can see this in NVidia's focus. Most of their profits are not in the gaming space anymore.
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoThe Steam Hardware/Software Survey [0] answers this. Look up the MSRPs of the most common GPUs. Very very few are over $1,000. If you want to interpret "multithousand" to be >= $2,000, then the answer becomes VERY small (less than 0.5%), as the highest MSRP gaming GPUs are the RTX 5090 and RTX 3090 Ti, both which technically have an MSRP of $1,999, that typically only applies to the "Founders Edition" releases done by NVIDIA. 3rd party AIBs (MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac, etc) typically charge a bit more.
