Nvidia Profits Tripled In Q4 2016
Nvidia is happy alright, the graphics chip (or should we say parralel computing) company increased its net profit to $ 655 million (614 million euros). That's a tripled compared to the same quarter a year earlier.
The news reaches us thjroug figures of the fourth financial quarter for 2016. Revenues grew to $ 2.17 billion, an increase of 55 percent compared with a year earlier. Revenues from Nvidia's data center division, which manufactures chips for include Amazon, Microsoft and Alibaba also has tripled which summed up towards 926 million USD in revenues.
Nvidia speaks of record figures. "Our GPU platform is increasingly being used for artificial intelligence, cloud computers, gaming and self-propelled vehicles," said Nvidia founder Jen-Hsun Huang.
The company has reached all of its goals that quarter in terms of gaming, visualization, data centers and self-propelled vehicles. Exact figures on some departments have not been shared.

I guess we will always see individuals from both camps using their (statistically useless) personal experiences with drivers as somehow representative of the thousands of other GPU owners who may not have issues.

Yeah, companies are randomly starting to charge us more and more. It's not like inflation is something that exists.
Or the fact that entry-level GPUs are now iGPUs that we find in our processors.
Firing up a few neurons before posting is encouraged here.
Entry level gaming cards used to cost £60-£70, just couple years ago. Now price is doubled. When you have 2 major players only (nVidia and AMD), then it is very easy to fix and control prices without the need to say anything to the competitor. If it becomes too profitable then Intel, probably will improve their cards. I doubt that new player will come into the market, because patent laws will be used to crush it.

Somebody is doing business right for their own interests and the company's. Not necessarily the customers though, but Nvidia keeps growing as it seems.

Not randomly. Entry level gaming card is one which is used for minimum requirements of most popular game titles. nVidia x50 range contains entry cards for modern gaming. nVidia x40 and x30 range is for old games. nVidia entry cards (release date - official recommended price, 2017 market price):
nVidia GTS 450 (2010 - $129, 2014 - $65, 2017 - unavailable)
nVidia GTX 750 Ti (2013 - $149, 2014/2017 - $80)
nVidia GTX 950 ($159, 2017 – $127)
nVidia GTX 1050 ($139, 2017 - $109)
Prices from www.videocardbenchmark.net (Amazon, Newegg)
Important note: GTX 950 has similar performance to 750 Ti. Have you noticed that market price for GTX 950 is much higher? One of the possibilities is that nVidia is trying to dry down inventory and control production of new cards in order to reduce supply and keep market prices of new cards high. Which is expected, considering that only 2 major players left on the gaming GPU market.
Makes sense if you are using Russian Rubles or Zimbabwean Dollars. Information above shows that it has little to do with inflation (see the note).
Argument would make more sense if Triple-A titles used Intel GPU for minimum requirements. Intel GPU runs fine older games or games on lowest possible settings.
Don't be smug, unless you made sure that facts are on your side and opponent can't back his arguments with logic and evidence

I am going to have to disagree, all my previous video cards are nvidia, the one I have now is my first AMD video card, my reason for switching was the driver crashes.... since going with an AMD video card, I have not had that same experience.
