Yes I had scientific computing in mind where nVidia still dominates. Not sure about the size of this market or the crypto mining markets compared to gamer market.

crypto had apparently disproportionate influence on the pricing, even if niche.
there is also the cg industry. nvidia is de facto standard and seems it will stay that way for a while.

Well crypto was huge for nVidia before ethereum went to PoS. Now it can no longer be mined, hence the glut of 30x0 series cards. I did not know that CG industry was also captive.

that is why I used past tense. and yes, many aspects of cg creation leverage nvidia proprietary algos. cant imagine using anything else other then nvidia cards, apple chips seems to be the only way to dislodge them in the future but probably never in terms of raw power…
