That marketshare discussion that won't stop invading every other thread *spawn*

Guys I have an idea: let's stop feeding the "PS5 is a paper launch" user and talk about the RDNA2 GPUs?

I really wish your first statement was true because it would have made my quest for upgrading my system a lot easier, but we all know they're not in gamer hands.
Unless by gamer hands you actually mean in a server/farm playing a game called Mining-for-Ethereum. Not even the laptop GPUs are safe from that destiny.


OTOH it's pretty safe to say >99.99% of PS5, Series X and Series S are in gamers' hands. Neither of them is being used to mine ETH.

What is IDC calling a "Gaming Laptop" in that survey? Anything with a discrete GPU? Is a Core i3 + Geforce MX130 a gaming laptop? Anything with a Vega or Iris iGPU?
The non-paywalled article is very vague about this (also, 21 Million gaming monitors?! Is a "gaming monitor" anything that supports Freesync?)

And is there any data supporting your assumption of 20% of the gaming laptops having RTX discrete GPUs?

 

Citation needed.
Since you KNOW, you must have data.
If not, you need to Google the word "know".

I have 2 DXR SKU's...not mining.

 

Gaming branded, avg. price of 1041 US-$.

Not dancing around the strawman any more though. The point was there being more RTX cards out than PS5.

We have a number of >10M PS5 without anything to back it up, later there was a link to 9M PS5 for end of june.
Then we have a number of ~20M RTX cards from end of january.

 

You sure? If they're not, it's only because no-one figured a way to yet. They use even PS4's for mining now

They are "mining" FIFA lootboxes, not crypto, apparently it's more lucrative

 

Oh
