Q4 2014 - nvidia gain market share again
- Thread starter andybird123
- Start date
Why do you think this is the case? I'm trying to make sense out of the trend in the graph and the ubiquitous anecdotes of AMD related problems. Why is Nvidia so dominant if AMD is just as good? I find it difficult to believe it's solely down to marketing.
This just makes no sense at all? Have you been at the sauce?

TBH if owning AMD means constantly needing to tell people how great the cards are and how anyone who disagrees are blind sheep i'd rather own Nvidia...
The reason i wont be buying AMD for a while? The community. Most play the victim and it's annoying...At least that's how they come across.
Exactly this.
Nvidia have been demonstrating real-time HW accelerated ray-tracing for years and year
http://www.nvidia.com/object/gpu-ray-tracing.htmlPeople rarely recognize that they are being sucked in by marketing, that is the key to good marketing, as people will justify things in there own mind when the competitions offers similar for less money.
A friend of mine who is now a AMD user said it was NVs website and the look of the CP that did it for him, you really cant get a more superficial reason for choosing a brand and the only reason why he has a AMD card is because it was a cheap second hand offer and he didn't have the money for a 970, he is now running AMD CF and is very happy.
When talking to people in real life the majority of responses are superficial as they dont have time to sit and formulate excuses as reasons, very rarely do i hear a specific feature as a reason and the one i do hear if at all is Physx which is ironic because the games and the franchises they play the most dont have it.

So its not ok to compare a chip designer to a chip maker but it is then ok to compare them to a retail goods manufacturer and direct seller? Mkay.
Your making it sound like nvidia have lost a load of market share and by association lost revenue, rather than the reality that they continue to grow market share, and revenue, and profit. The nearest directly comparable competitor to nvidia is AMD, who despite having higher revenue, cant seem to make a profit.
Mobile soc's and gaming gpu's are not even remotely the same market, yet you are trying to tie them together, for what point i'm not quire sure as your replies just get mercurial.
Somethings little makes sense to you because you are not able to work out somethings that are not spelled out to you,(i dont like typing DM style walls of text in explanations), there are plenty of bad things said against AMD which i dont responded to, unless you think you are the only person who says anything against AMD, which makes you cant have a bad thing said against AMD claim false.

Which makes you can't have a bad thing said against AMD claim false... No matter how many times I read that, I can't work it out, so the first part of your statement is correct, I do need things spelling out to me.
If you think AMD are in a good position, that's fine. I just can't work out what you are saying, so yes please, spell it out for me.
Too funny.
I can't believe someone who has posted so much on this forum can say something so dam stupid.
I can't believe you are agreeing with the guy that you will choose to own a particular ******* graphics card brand because other people's rants about another brand annoy you. Why not just grow up and just buy whatever you think is best instead of getting reeled in by it.
And before you jump down my throat about Nvidia this and Nvidia that I get it you don't like AMD but can you not just stop looking for every excuse under the sun to post any negative thing about them.
How can you not work it out, plenty people say bad things against AMD and you dont see me responding, if it was a fact that i cant take a bad word said against AMD i will be responding to as many of them as a can, the fact is i respond to the minority of them.

Oh Gregory!
As earlier someone mentioned your pretence that you want AMD to do well or be competing whereas the comment was spot on, you only post in the threads to stir or gloat in some way shape or form. The sheer amount of times you do this is not because you are being jovial or for forum banter - its because you genuinely do not like any other company other than the beloved nvidia.
If you actually used the products made by other companies your input would be balanced or at least hold some weight. As it stands you just read reviews on the internet which is not a great base to hold any 'opinion'.
I read this and realised someone had also posted a good summary. Now where's that pie...

Nvidia have a better quality product !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nvidia GPUs appear better quality and the marketing is superior too, AMD seems to be aimed at a younger gamer, the product looks tacky, THIS IS NOT SAYING IT IS it just appears this way.......AMD have no sense of style, their reference coolers look like something from ``Toys are Us``.
their Corporate logo and their marketing is equally tacky and cheesy, it reminds me of ``Safestyle U.K`` or ``Cillit Bang``....people like to associate themselves with Slick and well presented products nowadays and unfortunately AMDs bad image weighs heavily against them.
Nvidia have got their image spot on and unfortunately it's fooling loads of people into buying their products...........the 970 fiasco is a big **** up, but you'll notice that Nvidia managed to hush it up, people went BLA BLA BLA for a few weeks and then it all died out....it's all forgotten now, Nvidia havent suffered at all, they ****ed all over you, simply by remaining quiet and ignoring it all
we all want AMD to kick ass but they cant until they sort out their image first and then the quality of their product...

Spell it out once more, still not making any sense.
Lokken86 just as bad as user who wont buy a game if it has Mantle support or if its a Gaming Evolved title, notice how many AMD users dont have the same issue with saying that if a Game has Physx or if its a Gamesworks title they wont buy it, the game is judged on its own merit.

So nvidia make a hash of something - then its ok. AMD need a better quality product just because they are called AMD.
This is the reason the nvidia crowd get laughed at (the die hards). No matter how badly they perform its OK!

Yeah, totally, its not like there have been hundred page threadnoughts ranting about gameworks titles...
Ranting about and not buying are 2 different things, no one is saying im not buying because of those 2 things being included, its the game itself and the performance is the reason, if the game performs well then people dont care, people are ranting because those 2 things may be the reason for the bad performance.
