Why are Nvidia's GPUs more popular than AMD's?

03 March 2019 1 10K Report

Nvidia has a larger market share of GPU sales. What are the reasons for this larger share?

I cannot speak for computer game market, but in GPU computing, my answer is better software stack. The tools and libraries are simply more evolved, optimized, documented... Nvidia has also better marketing I think.
