        Oh yeah absolutely. Doing GPU parallel computing for many people is synonymous with using CUDA.

        They also dominate compute.

        Yes, “certain niche markets where they dominate with high profit margins”.

      If we are talking gaming (which by no means is a niche market), nvidia absolutely dominates the GPU market. The steam survey reports a market share of 75% for nvidia gpus

      Gaming also compromises Candy Crush and Wordle which are not on Steam. The article is about a low-cost GPU, not a 4080 competitor.

        I would claim that most people that need a dedicated GPU for gaming are using steam

          True but you said “If we are talking gaming (which by no means is a niche market), nvidia absolutely dominates the GPU market”. So gaming in general which includes the massive number of casuals playing simple web games and that’s what I was replying to. Gaming with dedicated GPU is a niche market compared to the sheer size of the overall PC market which has an installed base of literally billions of devices in use. So again: NVidia has no monopoly.
