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.

Nvidia should not make a same mistakes Intel currently makes. Intel slacked far too long, and result is now AMD will introduce a better product at lower price. Might be a substential kick for them, i doubt Vega will be much better then Pascal ( i will be disgusted if AMD wont at least match the gtx 1080 performance ) otherwise we will see next nvidia card gtx 1180 at 1500$ per piece. Disgusting.

Pascal release was very successful for Nvidia. Great performance of GTX1070 / GTX1080 finally justified people buying 1440@144hz panels. And while all this happening AMD has literally nothing to offer.
AMD stood still while people were throwing money at Nvidia.
Well normally I would argue that the 1070 and upper aren't a significant portion of the market, but last gen the 970 was the most popular gaming card.
AMD do have the 480 which is really a better choice in that segment (they've evolved really well from launch and they will probably ontinue to do so) - however they're not only losing sales from the high-end, but from the entry-level as well. The 460 is not a bad card but the 1050Ti is simply murder at the same price as the 4GB 460. It's not even remotely a competition.
The only cards AMD are massively selling right now are the 470 and 480, where the 1060 also competes (and is doing an ok job). The rest of the lineup simply goes to Nvidia.

Insane profits and all around growth.
Nvidia is 60 billion $ company as of today.
Three years ago when GTX 780 Ti launched, Nvidia's total enterprise value was only 6 billion.

I am not surprised at all,Team Green has been calling the shot's for some time now and I do not see that changing anytime soon! My last Amd gpu was a Radeon 6970 I have not looked back since then, the only card I was considering at the time was a R9 290X, and I still like the 295x2- Beast of a card! I do wonder howcome both Nvidia does not make dual-gpu video card's anymore?
Looking at old Gpu benchmark's is not as fun as before,It was like porn to me. Haha

Very presumptuous of you. We enthusiasts are a relatively small crowd. I highly doubt that Nvidia's growth came from the 1070 and 1080 - the 1070, though fairly priced, is still expensive, and the 1080 is really a niche market. There are more likely causes for Nvidia's success, such as the 1050Ti, 1060, mobile platforms, maybe Nintendo Switch, but most of all, servers (which likely make up more of their revenue than all their other sales combined). Also, AMD wasn't standing still, they were (and still are) in the process of getting the 490 released. Pascal was released at a pretty inconvenient time for them.
Regardless, I'd say Nvidia did earn their success. Pascal is the best thing they released since their Tesla architecture, and they're a very solid competitor in ARM.

Now you know whay NVidia inccreased their gpu prices (when production cost goes lower) they do it just for happy announcment of doubled, tripled, quadrupled, tredecupled profit... Everything just for announce...

I'm glad for that actually. I don't like a lot of their practices, but NVIDIA has been a small company showing that with the proper talent you can do miracles.

i hope you know that their success is only because no competition over last years, they are alone on market (amd bought ati but gpu is not their main product and other corps leaved long time ago, nvidia dictate everything)

When did production costs go lower? Architectures are more expensive than ever to develop. 16nmFF was the first die shrink that didn't bring cost savings per transistor.

Gaming makes up the most of their revenue, $1.348B. Datacenters were only $296M. GTX1070 only trails the 1060 by .68% marketshare on steam where as the 1080 is 2% lower. When you consider the margins on the 1070, I think it's a safe bet that a huge chunk of their profit is coming from it. I don't know whether AMD having a card in that price range would have made much of a difference though - it didn't really seem to matter with Maxwell despite the fact that the 970 was arguably the lesser card.

AMD is far more competitive in graphics than they are in CPUs. Fury X was basically right on the heels of a 980Ti and at various price points AMD actually beats Nvidia. So I'm not sure why you think Nvidia has no competition.

There is competition just fine actually. This is the first year that AMD didn't have a $400+ contender, and it's starting to look that it happened because their next top end is going to be here almost a year earlier than NVIDIA's. This is not at all like the CPU race.
NVIDIA is making a lot of money because they had the brains to invest in using GPUs for other tasks, most notably deep learning. They are getting crazy amounts of money from that, and CUDA is the de facto standard for the academia.

@chronek
****ty when you can't validate that statement.
please go back 10y, or even to 4600TI days, and check prices for all of the top 2 models until last year, and compare to price for 1070/1080.
from exceptions , i dont see a big difference in prices.
2002: 4600ti sells for 400$
2017: 1080 sells for 600$
thats + 14$/per year, yeah, Nv really milking us here...
and im even ignoring things like changes in cost/inflation etc...
