I get what you are trying to say and I am well aware of their revenue increases since I post them every quarter but think of it like this. Why announce and release 4 gpus if you aren't gonna make any? Why announce all the laptop versions? They could have gotten away with not releasing Blackwell at all since 9070 XT is slower than 5070 Ti so a 4080/Super would still have been faster. They could have easily refreshed RTX 4000 and had even bigger margins while reserving Blackwell for Ai. Hell they didn't even need to release a 5090/5080 at all either.

I imagine they haven't completely decided whether or not they want to abandon the gaming sector just yet, so they're basically treating this like a placeholder generation and just throwing out the bare minimum of product they can get away with, along with it's minimal improvements on the previous generation.

They were already doing the R&D for Blackwell regardless, so throwing a few scraps to the gaming sector is hardly that much more effort for them.

They at least want people to still believe they're a major player in the market even while they currently don't care much about it.

Guess we will see in the coming months how things end up. If their stock drastically improves and their gaming revenue reflects it, then it was likely a bottleneck of some kind. We already know the gaming revenue should be low this quarter due to lack of stock so if they continue to face stock issues for the next 3-6 months, then likely yea. They aren't caring much about gaming.
