NVIDIA Joins S&P 100 Stock Market Index

[I No]

i don't know if you are pretending or actually missing the point, mining sales not only led to sell more gpus, the demand on gpus also led to increase of gpus prices that are actually sold for and used by gamers. datacenters and professional visualization. this is where all this "amazing" revenue grows come from.

And the point you are missing is that GPU prices were not inflated by nvidia/AMD but by the retailers. Here's the deal both nvidia and AMD have a contract with the AIB's the AIB's get the chips change the PCB and whatnot and add to the cost. What makes you think neither AMD or nvidia for that matter couldn't have done more than just to increase production? They have no control on the end price. As the demand scales up the AIB's demand will do as well, they might charge extra for the extra shipments but the money that goes to either AMD or Nvidia is no where near the $1200 mark that was asked for a VEGA 64 since that was the retailer's asking prince. Oh and here's another thought during the whole mining craze Nvidia kept the MSRP for their FE cards, the stocks were low because they had contracts to fulfill with the AIB's. Oh and the GPU's that were sold to datacenters, visualization and whatnot were never in the same area as the consumer ones. Every company out there handles corporate before consumers since they are the ones that can be tied to CONTRACTS that have CLAUSES for EARLY TERMINATION not meeting deadlines that would involve penalties, it's not the same market and stop treating it as such, the price wasn't inflated for those markets since they had the hardware bought from nvidia directly and not through AIB's or retailers.....

how is nvidia doomed, the competition certainly wont be its downfall, heck nvidia punches on with intel and amd, i can see another recession hurting them but they likely have the funds to survive unlike its competitor in the gpu space,

Sarcasm, my man, sarcasm. Fluffmeister has been doing it at least a couple years now to illustrate the point to all those who hate on Nvidia.

yeah nah got a bit carried away calling everyone a peasant but the majority of my point stands

LOL, literally non of your points stand. Go re-read that post, you even missed fluffs obvious sarcasm following.
Edit: no, you know what... you want to know scummy...Nvidia has a surplus of chips right now and the AIB's are sending the back to create a price fix on the market.
