There's plenty of reasons to dislike Nvidia, but their software support isn't one of them. It's commendable that they're still investigating performance problems affecting cards as old as the Maxwell generation.

Not everyone is always playing the greatest and latest game. :)

I'm still playing Horizon Zero Dawn with the occasional Mass Effect 3 session.

With greater than 60% gross margin they better do this...

AMDs are nearly 50% so it's not really that different. Although I'm not sure how much that has to do with Consoles but it would likely be higher if they didn't have so many RDNA2 gpu selling at 30-40% less than their MSRPs

Same point for them. I'm not gonna applaud them for doing what they're supposed to do to support their massive margins.

Historically what has it been honestly I've never paid attention. I want to say it was nearly 60% during the Pascal generation one of their best so I doubt it's changed much.

Nvidia is actually over 70% lmao.

Nvidia


AMD


Although by this metric intel is giving us the most for our money lol... They use to have Nvidia levels of margin now even AMD has them beat by a decent margin which is sad considering intel makes most their chips themselves.



Off topic but after you mentioned it I was actually interested lol

An effect of their ridonkulous margins, Tesla created Dojo. There's no sense in it, raising your compute by filling your suppliers coffers at 60% margins. Long live Dojo, which has a good chance of restructuring the whole compute field at 1/6th the cost and a fraction of the footprint.

I knew tesla was investing a billion dollars into that but I don't follow that industry so no idea what that is.

It's Tesla's custom AI chip focused on their vision ai system. Using general purpose gpu accelerators is not ideal and very overpriced, thus they created their own chip for their needs. It will also underpin the possiblity of Dojo as a service. The reality is that many firms don't have the capital to build their own supercomputers like Tesla so they buy compute as a service. Musk's comments recently are about throwing another billion at Dojo to ramp it to 100 exaflops next year. Btw, this goes way back to when they dropped Nvidia AI chips and brought in Jim Keller when they mapped out their vertical integration of AI.

Chips and Cheese has a good write-up about it too.

The topic is nvidia drivers, not Tesla products or gross margins, guys.
