Lol, it's amazing the lengths some people will go to, and construct bogus arguments with apples to oranges comparisons, all because they're too arrogant to ever admit they got something wrong, however innocuous.
To try and claim companies like Nvidia and AMD didn't release 3d cards on the PC for primarily gaming resons, is just a breathtaking rewriting of history.
Whether that's their primary purpose today is irrelevant, as the use they're being put to, that you describe, came later, much later.
3d gaming was the reason these companies released GPU's in the first place.
