NVIDIA during its investor day revealed some interesting statistics on its Turing-based graphics cards. The company essentially announced that revenue for Turing graphics cards sales increased 45% over that generated when NVIDIA introduced their Pascal architecture - which does make sense, when you consider how NVIDIA actually positioned its same processor tiers (**60, **70, **80) in higher pricing brackets than previously. 
 
 Pascal accounts for around 50% of the installed NVIDIA graphics cards, while Turing, for now, only accounts for 2% of that. This means 48% of users sporting an NVIDIA graphics card are using Maxwell or earlier designs, which NVIDIA says presents an incredible opportunity for increased sales as these users make the jump to the new Turing offerings.
 
So continued growth is possible as users begin to upgrade. However in my personal opinion this type of uptake will take longer due to the high cost of the cards. 

 

i dont buy that.. despite what they say.
 
eventually due to the lack of the gtx1000 production people will have to upgrade to something in the future but these 2000 series are too expensive. not worth it. just not worth it specially now Crytek announced ray tracing on other gfx card models.
 
stores here have some sales on those rtx series but many refunds either. one employee of one of these main stores even said that he had a double order on a rtx 2080 ( sli) and that a few days later the rich costumer wanted a refund and return the rtx series. why? "not worth it" he said... "there was little gain to no gain in games overall and the costumer wanted the money back and return to the sli GTX1080 he had"...
hey the guy cold tell me otherwise and sell me the rtx series... i would buy. but no... he was honest and true.
 
who ever got their gtx1060 /1070 /1080 and 1080Ti wont upgrade so soon. and that's a fact.  and as you can see on my sig i sure need a new gfx card and i simply wont buy the 2000 series.

Yeah..that was an investor meeting ..trying to restore confidence.

So while it may be a true statement of the first 2 months they sold well,, ..that is far from the entire story of how sales quickly tanked after the initial newness wore off..& sales quickly dropped off after that point.

My God that title is misleading.  45% in revenue, not units sold, in which the higher MSRP explains most of it.  Plus, 90% of users buy at the GTX1660 Ti level and below, that means 10% buy more expensive than GTX1660 Ti is.  In other words: Anyone that has bought a GTX1060 or above are part of that 10% minority from nVidia's own data, i.e. people that swear by the idea they are the real gamers because they can afford better.

I don't get that last (3 of 3) graphic, that users are 'buying upwards' as if a willingness to pay more is out of choice.   AMD isn't around and many customers aren't loyal, they just get whatever is available; it is a weird way to say, 'we take advantage of our market dominance'.

Confusing sales increase with price increase is misdirection by Nvidia. Those figures are not the same thing.

It's also why Nvidia recently announced forced obsolescence of a few series in their future driver updates. They're playing the Microsoft adoption game though forced obsolescence. They realize that most games are DirectX 11 and that has been around a decade now. They need to force the adoption rate along a bit artificially hence the nonsense with the drivers and adding things like RTX.

LOL how is this any different from how it has been for years?

What? That Nvidia is taking advantage of consumers? That consumers are too stupid to realize they are overpaying? Or that they are willing to deal with both f these issues because having the most expensive Nike's at school makes you the coolest kid in grade seven?
