Nvidia market share still on the increase.

Dooooooooomed. Srsly.

I'm only half joking.

Once Pascal hits and nV have HBM2, with their greater R&D budget it's the same story as on the CPU side. Surely if AMD have less money to develop new tech, they can only fall further and further behind, unless nV decide to deliberately slow their own progress.

Funny because the 300 series only dropped mid-end of June, which is the end of Q2.

I think AMD have been waiting on 14nm Finfet and have the designs ready to roll. I think they were expecting it to have dropped this or last year already. Since they will be launching 14nm Finfet parts with HBM2 across all their product segments from what i have read.


Relevant to this thread.

Really AMD market share dropped in Q2, April, May and June..... Fury X launched in June 24th with low early launch supplies..... you really think Fury X regardless of quality, even if it had been 100% faster than it was and half the price, would have had a massive impact on the sales of Q2?

I think what your needlessly daft thread title should have read is, Fury X launched after Q2 sales predictably still dropped.

The thread title is the title of the news article..
 
I hope AMD pick up some big russian billionnaire investors or something in the next few years, else we are going to end up with £1000 mid-tier nVidia's :/
 
Actually,these numbers are hiding something else:

http://jonpeddie.com/publications/market_watch

The desktop graphics card market is collapsing.

AMD’s shipments of desktop heterogeneous GPU/CPUs, i.e., APUs, increased 25.0% from the previous quarter, and were down -53.5% in notebooks. AMD’s discrete desktop shipments decreased -33.33% from last quarter, and notebook discrete shipments decreased -9.1%. The company’s overall PC graphics shipments decreased -25.8% from the previous quarter.


Intel’s desktop processor embedded graphics (EPGs) shipments decreased from last quarter by -7.4%, and notebooks decreased by -7.3%. The company’s overall PC graphics shipments decreased -7.4% from last quarter.


Nvidia’s desktop discrete shipments were down -12.03% from last quarter; and the company’s notebook discrete shipments decreased -21.6%. The company’s overall PC graphics shipment decreased -16.2% from last quarter. The company saw strength in gaming from Western Europe and China which helped it buck a down quarter for the industry.


Total discrete GPU (desktop and notebook) shipments from the last quarter decreased -17.07% and decreased -26.27% from last year. Sales of discrete GPUs fluctuate due to a variety of factors (timing, memory pricing, etc.), new product introductions, and the influence of integrated graphics. Overall, the CAGR from 2014 to 2017 is now -6%.

The market will dictate the price though. If there is a single player and they release a 970 at £800, people just won't buy it and Nvidia wouldn't be doing themselves any favours in the sales department. People will hold on to older hardware for longer if Nvidia out price themselves.
 
Well at least I can say I tried to help AMD. In the last 2 years, I have bought new, 3x7950s, 2x290s a 290X and a Fury X.
 
A misleading article...since it tries to relate all this to the Fury Launch when these analyst figures only take into account the first two quarters. The new AMD cards were released at the end of the 2nd quarter.

According to Mercury Research's latest data, NVIDIA has jumped from 76% of the discrete GPU market in Q4 2014 to 82% in Q2 2015. This leaves AMD with just 18% of the dGPU market share, even after the release of multiple new products from Team Red.
