Nvidia really doesn't seem to care about gaming GPUs anymore — the company won't even bother to break down graphics sales in its big investor reports

Is the Ge Force GPU line-up going to slide into obscurity?

This came with a change in the way GPU sales are reported

They won't be detailed separately anymore, but buried in another category —Edge Computing — and there are reasons to be nervous

Nvidia is flying with the revelation of its latest financial results, hitting a record-breaking quarter, but hidden among the trumpeting of success there was a move which I find somewhat disturbing regarding Team Green's gaming GPUs.

Tom's Hardware noticed that aside from the record revenue in Q1 fiscal 2027 – which hit a staggering $81 billion – Nvidia is making a change to the way the company reports its financials going forward.

From this quarter and in the future, Nvidia won't separately report sales of client graphics cards, meaning consumer (Ge Force) and professional (RTX Pro and others) GPUs.

Instead, sales of those graphics solutions will be absorbed into another bigger category: Edge Computing.

So, Nvidia will have just two main categories with its financial reports: Data Center, which encompasses cloud, AI and supercomputing, and Edge Computing which is PCs, workstations, consoles, as well as robotics, automotive and telecoms. We won't get a break down of sales of graphics solutions at all.

All this sounds mightily dull, of course, so why does it matter to gamers? And why might it worry them, more to the point? Well, what it means is that it'll no longer be possible to see how the Ge Force and RTX side of Nvidia's business is performing.

In short, it's effectively draping a cloak of obscurity (I found one in Baldur's Gate 3, I think) over Nvidia's graphics revenue so nobody can easily see how this side of the business is doing.

Of course, this is a reflection of a few things: most certainly that Nvidia has become an AI juggernaut. And also that all investors really care about is AI now, and Team Green doesn't feel that graphics are important enough to report directly. The various RTX graphics cards that Nvidia sells — whether Ge Force, or non-consumer RTX models — can just be filed away quietly, in the background.

The worry for me is that this is also a way of keeping graphics sales out of the limelight if Nvidia is going to deprioritize its Ge Force line-up going forward. With no visibility in the financial reporting, there's going to be no easy way to spot gaming GPUs dwindling.

That may seem like a leap to a conclusion, but it isn't just this latest move with the financial reports to consider — there's also Nvidia's wider attitude towards Ge Force in recent times. With the RAM crisis, we've seen GPU price hikes and concerns over production and stock. On top of that, there have been rumors of Ge Force models that were supposed to be released: RTX 5000 Super refreshes, which were heavily rumored, and supposedly designed and readied, but have now been shelved.

The chatter from the grapevine is that we won't see any new GPUs from Nvidia this year at all — not one — and that's very rare (in fact it hasn't happened in three decades). This is because Nvidia needs all the chips it can get — and perhaps more to the point, all the video RAM — for AI graphics cards which are far more profitable than consumer models.

And let's not forget that Nvidia's keynote at CES 2026 — a show which is about consumer electronics –—didn't mention anything to do with Ge Force GPUs. (Not the hardware, anyway, although we did hear about DLSS 4.5, but that's not quite the same — the only hardware touched on was gaming monitors).

There's an increasing feeling among gamers that priorities are shifting more radically towards the AI side of the market for Nvidia, and away from gaming GPUs, and I can't blame people for thinking this way. This latest move to bury graphics sales in Nvidia's financial reports feels like another step on this path of marginalizing the Ge Force family, and yes, I agree, we can't be jumping to conclusions, but it's all adding up and feeling rather ominous to me.
