In one hand I want the Nvidia quasi monopoly to end.

NVidia has no monopoly in the PC space. Intel + AMD combined far outnumber NVidia GPUs overall, NVidia just has certain niche markets where they dominate with high profit margins but that’s not what this story is about.

If we are talking gaming (which by no means is a niche market), nvidia absolutely dominates the GPU market. The steam survey reports a market share of 75% for nvidia gpus

They also dominate compute. There’s still a lot of software that depends on CUDA.

Oh yeah absolutely. Doing GPU parallel computing for many people is synonymous with using CUDA.

Yes, “certain niche markets where they dominate with high profit margins”.

Consoles have had AMD chipsets for decades, and still do. Well, except the Switch.

We are talking about the PC space here, though.

Gaming also compromises Candy Crush and Wordle which are not on Steam. The article is about a low-cost GPU, not a 4080 competitor.

I would claim that most people that need a dedicated GPU for gaming are using steam
