NVIDIA never makes new video card announcements at GDC or GTC. And Q2 is April-June. It won't be a "2080 Ti SUPER," so I don't know why you decided to bump this thread.

That still isn't correct. 58.8% is the correct number for 2017.
FY17 splits, Gaming/Total:
Q1: 687/1305
Q2: 781/1428
Q3: 1244/2004
Q4: 1348/6910
Total: 4060/6910 (59%)
FY19 splits, Gaming/Total:
Q1: 1723/3207
Q2: 1805/3123
Q3: 1764/3181
Q4: 954/2205
Total: 6246/11716 (53%)
And that's comparing gaming alone against all other revenue. Isolating it to gaming vs datacenter + quadro products makes the split even more lopsided

He's less interested in discussion than insults, it seems-
And while Nvidia does regularly gain the majority (if only a simple majority) of their revenue from gaming, they usually concentrate on enterprise first.
To wit, only with the 1080Ti did they start building full-size GPUs that are 'gaming focused'. Also note that AMD has done much the same, and we haven't seen a large, gaming-focused part from them... ever?
Christ.
we also haven't seen a competative datacenter product either, workstation sure they are cost competative there but
Apparently I wasn't looking at the full 2017 overview just a breakdown of Q1 2018, my bad but regardless even if it were only 30% that would still be too much for them to hold off releases to wait for a competator to catch up for what ever reason they would do that. nVidia has 0 financial incentive to hold off a release to see what a competator may do. Adjust prices accordingly sure but certainly not sit on inventory.

I don't see them 'holding off' as much as 'prioritizing'.
Enterprise purchasing runs in cycles that are perhaps more predictable than consumer purchases. Not perfectly predictable, just more. That's not something a company wants to miss, whereas on the consumer side Nvidia faces very little real competition.

More like you can't miss, Education has its year end June 30, any part physically received after that date regardless or order date has to go under the next years budget not the previous years budget. So there have been cases where I have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment on the first and have been forced to tell them to keep it on their truck and send it back because the money is gone because they missed the deadline. Private sector is more flexible but they will also be front loading their purchases so big expenditures fall at the end or beginning of their cycle that way if needed they can stretch payments across 2 budgets to ensure they aren't leaving anything on the table. So there is a good 4 month chunk of a year where they will do the bulk of their enterprise/education sales which if you go through their sales data it is the end of Q2 and the beginning of Q3.
