    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.
