NVIDIA Announces Q4 FY 2014 Results: Above Expectations!
- Thread starter Gregster
- Start date
It is funny how the two who picked me up are the two I was thinking of with what I wrote in the OP.
It doesn't matter whatever way you butter it up, nVidia are making profit in a volatile market. Good or bad, I don't care and was merely posting news and adding my own brand of humour to the OP
Which is no diffrent to what i'm saying now, i never said "nVidia will be going under" <- your words, i said they will go into decline, which they have, revenue and profits are down. i do not think Nvidia will go bust or anything like that, this is you making up and exaggerating what people actually said.
Stop trolling, your baiting for arguments is becoming very tiresome. i want to have a grown up discussion in one of these threads once, just once; without you in it trying to stir it up.
Back on topic please...
Give over calling me a troll please Humbug. If you read what I said in the OP, you had ne reason to call me a Troll and if you was innocent, you had no reason to jump on me...
Read this again please.
Both you and DM like to paint a doom and gloom picture of nVidia, which I don't care either way if you are right or wrong but to see nVidia posting 'better than expected' profits, they are doing something right, no?
Take the OP for what it is, which is news of my favourite GPU manufacturer doing well and no hidden agenda.
Read this again please.
I have read a couple of people here say that "nVidia will be going under because AMD have the consoles and lost IBM's contract" or similar and seems they were completely wrong

+1 to this
On another note, it seems like a select few people in this thread are sad to see Nvidia doing well and even seem to be hoping for them to make losses. How pathetic.

You know you're doing something right when a die hard AMD lover is considering going green lol.

Once again you are drawing incorrect conclusions.
Doing better than expected is NOT in any way the same as doing well.
If you drop from 500mil profits to 20mil profits, you're doing terribly, if everyone expects you to drop to 20mil profits, but you actually only drop to 40mil profits... you've beaten expectations yet you most certainly aren't doing well.
Nvidia's income from Tegra, despite increased spending halved. Everyone knew this was going to happen as Nvidia have been doing terribly with Tegra for 4 years, but they've been lying about it so certain companies stuck with them till a year or two ago but that lost support from all their BS numbers and extreme lateness to anything useful, means revenue tanked after Tegra 3, tanked extremely hard. Tegra is going exceptionally badly but everyone predicted this, a small bump in discrete gpu sales means the news is not as bad as everyone thought.
Profits down 130mil, the two biggest profit segments(ps3/Intel deal) with 2 years max remaining on them, increased spending on Tegra seeing no results at all. Nvidia pegged their long term growth on Tegra, and it's failing very badly, this is not doing well by any stretch of the imagination.

Yes, Nvidia doomed, everyone abandon them now - no hope for them at all.
Doing well to me means just that. I don't see them making a loss like AMD are doing year in year out, so as I see it, a volatile market such as PC's, a profit is doing well. Put any kind of spin on it you like but the fact remains that nVidia year on year post profits.
Gaining market share is quite incredible to me, what with AMD and mining and the mining craze started November?

Your talking about the past, Greg. AMD aren't making a loss ^^^ they are in profit and that profit is on the up. and your making random comparisons to AMD yet again. do you want to talk about AMD in your Nvidia thread or what?
A "die hard AMD lover" as you put it isn't going to consider going green, its a contradiction. either i'm a "die hard AMD lover" or i'm not.

So are you a Die Hard AMD Lover or not then? Genuinely curious.

Chill out Humbug please. He is only jesting, as would I be
I would be very very surprised to see you with a 770 for instance or a 780, as would lots of people.
I'd be surprised him getting a 770 over a 290 or getting a second hand 780 from the MM (going as low as £250...)
If you're shelling out nearly £300 for a GPU why limit yourself to last gen cards rebranded? Might as well get decent VFM and get current gen top tier cards for only a few ££ more.
Though saying that, i've heard whispers the world will end when Humbug goes green.
Of course I am talking about the past. Year on year means just that and AMD posted profit for the first time in years in Q4 of 2103 but on the 2013 year, still ran at a loss. Don't confuse a year for a quarter.
Edit.
Yep, AMD posted a loss of $83 million dollars in 2013, so again I say nVidia are doing well in this volatile market

Don't underestimate the value of volume. Nvidia losing some big contracts will reduce their volume, increasing component prices, manufacturing cost etc.
Sure Nvidia have made good solid cash profit. But the net income is down significantly year on year,

If i can find a good used 780 for ~£250 i may just buy one. i don't know exactly what sort of money i will have to spend yet but for £250 a 780 is certainly an option, used 280X are going for that or close, used. And as i said before i'm not spending £300 on any GPU, £250 would be my limit.
Agreed and they need to do something and seem to be putting a lot of emphasis in the SoC. The Tegra K1 looks promising and time will tell if other people who count feel the same.
Around £275 and you should be able to get one
To much, i'm pushing the limit at £250
