Ti sales have been particularly strong considering its price-point...

I guess the titan x was the perfect marketing tool for the 980ti. titanx performance for much less. The fury launch must have also help. I wonder how many went for the ti instead of the fury considering price, stock and overclocking potential.
Agreed. I jumped on the TX sales without regret but had they launched the 980Ti at the same time, I would happily have saved £300 and then the stutter launch of the Fury X and when it finally launched, there was like 9 at OcUK and AMDMatt and Kaap had 8 of those between them, this didn't help those who had patiently waited for the Fury X. I see lots of people at the time saying they had enough and jumped on the 980Ti and as it was cheaper and faster, I can see why.
Even is FuryX sold well, it would not have made a blind bit of difference to Nvidia's outcome. Just because a few from forums 'jumped ship' does not touch those figures at all. People buy Nvidia because they want the best. They have been constantly supplying the best cards.

It made the Ti look like a steal. TX performance at nearly half the price....
I think if AMD had managed to nail the launch they would have bitten back. However Nvidia stole the limelight and took the wind out of their sale's (intended)
Lets not forget though. AMD is still driving innovation and are the kick that Nvidia need to keep innovating. Monopoly is not anything we want to see. To be fair, Duopoly is not that great either. However that is changing slightly....
Also good points Strudders. We all need a competitive AMD and Nvidia and it drives the industry forward. With a dead AMD, Nvidia would still drive forward but I feel increments would be the same as what Intel are dishing out (as seen with Skylake).

It would be nice for an external company like Samsung or something, come in with a die shrink now, blow them both out of the water for a year or two and then get all ball rolling for some really good GPU's
I guess that's what happens when you a) have no serious competition, and b) your 3rd from top card costs £400 (4th from top £300).
People are being forced to move upwards in the range to these super expensive cards, because the mid-range has not moved forwards in 3 years or so. 970 should have been mid-range, but its price point of £300 means it can't be classed as such.

....and a nice 9-10% after hours increase in shareprice for anyone holding their shares
But Greg, ROH on OCUK is absolutely no way linked to actual sales results
Genuinely I have used the ROH to inaccurately gauge what is a popular sell since they started. Not 100% reliable like most things (how many people watched Eastenders/Coronation Street/Football etc isn't done on fact either but gauged on a set number of participants.
People like to argue just for the sake of it at times and I couldn't be bothered.
Even I wasn't expecting Tegra to due that bad. They need to shut that down as its hurting the NVidia brand name and hurting the share price along with causing them to lose far to much money. a 19% fall in Revenue from Tegra, this time around and faults have caused property damage. Less then 90k sales for the shield tablet, makes me wonder how bad Tegra has to get before they get rid of it.

Lol, Nvidia could ploy billions in to Tegra and it would be nothing more than a dent in their position on the market.
The amount they have lost due to Tegra is more then they pay dividends to Share holders. By getting rid of Tegra they could double the dividends pay out and still end up in a better position then they are now.
The Titan X is a decoy product.
