AMD's GPU market share drops again, even after the release of Fury X

GPU sales are down across the board, and Q2 results don't include Fury X yet as it only launched in June in limited supply.

I personally think being stuck on 28nm for so long is leading to less interest in GPU's full stop.

No real exciting developments or true need for people to upgrade, market stagnation leads to less sales and bored consumers lol.

Only GPU whores like myself have bought a lot of 28nm cards :p

Next year should tell a different story, build decent exciting products and they will sell. Regardless of Nvidia or AMD brand.
 
Mobile market has chewed up all the low-end production, as why bother having something you cant move around, when you can have a phone/tablet that does the same thing (Facebook, Twitter, crappy games, etc)

Rising costs for several items (tuition, rent, general living costs in other nations etc) has chewed up the rest of the market.

ARM is king.

Fury X hasn't been much of a launch though, as you still can't get hold of them.

Yep. Whilst the likes of me and you were able to get hold of them, the fact remains that stock was short and so many people with the whinEEEEEEEEEEEE, that wasn't good for AMD.

If it was my company, I would seriously be asking questions and heads would roll.
 
People need to worry about is Intel and HBM/HMC once they get this on their apu we could lose almost all low end and a lot of the mid end cards never mind mobile as they eat into more of the low end and higher.

Without low and mid end sale where most cards are sold how will they get money for R&D yes nvidia has money in the bank but if intel and mobile start to push for market share in the low and mid end it leaves Nvidia in a tight spot and Amd has a chance if the new cpu's are any good but I can see them struggle with selling cards, the shrink might help sales for nvidia and amd but i am worried what intel does with HBM/HMC.

Ah, no choice but to copy the article title if you know the article is click bait and trolling... of course.

The article is purposefully misleading, the title is also as is this thread and it's title.

Leave the OP alone man! Time and again you rip into people for posting articles that you don't like reading and having a pop when they post up "as is". If it bothered you that much, you should have just ignored it or reported it. Whilst the article might well be click bait, it does hold some interesting bits and all these naysayers should be helping out their company instead of just defending from the sidelines. If they are that passionate about AMD, they should be talking with their wallets!

Actually,these numbers are hiding something else:

The desktop graphics card market is collapsing.

That's the APU included report, so desktop APU sales saw a big knock
The full discrete report isn't out yet, Q2 is usually down on Q1

NVIDIA were down 12%, AMD were down 33% in discrete
The full report will give an actual total number which will make it a bit more real

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.

It's still a week of sales I think it's fair to say launch window is probably when the most units get purchased, stock or not.

You only have to look at the Fury owners thread lists compared to the 980Ti one though to see that AMD's market share will be dire in Q3 as well.
 
As if including the Fury/X sales data would make a dent in the numbers.

When people were hyped for Fury X you couldn't buy one for all the money in the world; now there's a small amount of availability nobody cares because they already bought a 980Ti / realise how over-hyped it was.
 
The broader view is that the DGPU market is winding down as there have been no real killer products or PC only games to entice people to buy DGPU.

Both Nvidia and AMD have lost sales, AMD lost more as the refresh and Fury cards have only recently launched and will effect market later on. This all looks normal.

Once we see a real jump in hardware to drive consumers to buy and some much needed PC only games we could see another rise.

Really there is a lot of stagnation with things slowing to a crawl, look at Skylake.. Still on 28nm GPU, 7970 was launched on 28nm what nearly 5 years ago?

We need some exciting new products / games to drive demand. Atm most people are happy with PS4 / XB1.

Not surprised with the EEEEEEEEEE.... issue :D

The Fury non 'X's are the cards to get, they are bloody fantastic, if they could get a decent supply of those, they'd be flying off the shelves imo.

The Fury E's an abortion. You did right going with the Air cooled version, from what I've seen it's a decent card.
