Nvidia's yin and yang is essential for PC gaming.
Love 'em or loathe 'em, as a PC gamer you cannot possibly ignore Nvidia. Of the major gaming-relevant tech companies, Nvidia is without doubt one of the most influential. PC gaming would be far, far worse off without Nvidia.
Latterly, that has most obviously meant frankly offensive graphics card pricing. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. DLSS is classic Nvidia. Started off proprietary and possibly a bit pointless, now an essential industry-defining technology.. When it first rolled DLSS out in 2018, it felt like a classic Nvidia move, a technology of debatable real-world value that existed as much for marketing purposes as to improve the gaming experience.
And we're equally sure that process wouldn't be nearly as far along without Nvidia. No-one else was going to take the plunge and bear the weight of early adoption to get to the point where every single GPU maker is now focusing on making sure that ray tracing capabilities are a core component of their design.
But what of Nvidia's more ambiguously shady antics? Well, some would argue that its attempts to align certain games with Nvidia hardware has been bad for PC gaming in general.
