As I understand it, correct me if I am wrong, the main reason for using Nvidia is for gaming on the computer. Is that right?Largely, yes. There are other benefits, mostly cosmetic; Cleaner display, i.e less 'fuzzy', for a start. Some people won't notice the difference, but I do. Like you, I'm not a (computer) gamer, but do like some old school (i.e. pencil 'n' paper) RPGs. Traveller, Aftermath....
Nor am I a gamer, primarily because I refuse to spend the amount I would fork out on a whole new system or two just for a graphics card. My personal strategy is to see every few years what I can get for £100-£150 including delivery and VAT. That is usually a tidy upgrade and lasts me several years; last time I went from an Nvidia T550 1Gb to an accelerated T1050 with 4Gb. It even improved my golf scores on Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf *LOL*
