People do try, but it isn't the basis for a successful computing platform. Works for block chain (though AMD delivers more flops/$ for simple sha-ing grunt work) and specific workloads where you have time and expertise but not much cash. As for nVidia banning it, if you've the cash you can buy cards, just becomes painful. nVidia were doing it more because the GPGPU demand was choking the supply to graphics customers, and later dumping obsolete (for crunching) cards on the market en masse, interfering with the mid-tier card sales channel. |
