I wonder if it disheartens AMD that the only reason nVidia fans/owners want them to do well is to keep nVidia's prices down

Well you deserve the price hikes then, as I don't play many games now I don't mind really, xcom2 is the only game I brought this year.
I would think so since there Polaris cards will be cheaper and sell in good number if they offer good bang for buck. The 1070 and 1080 are too high end imo to drop AMD further.

Yeah 1070/80 wont sell, as their prices are too high, no one wants to spend more than £200 on a card after splashing out on a headest.

Tbf I feel that the console market is also a viable competitor to nVidia, and if they hike prices too much then people will just switch in droves
So it'll be a fairly fine balancing act...

Getting myself an Xim4 which allows me to properly use a mouse and keyboard with the ps4. The PC is my preffered system but the majority of my mates are on ps4. They are not going to know what hit them in fps games when i get it. Had a shot of my mates and in my first shot was 40/10 in black ops 3. With some tuning on my own mouse and practice, ownage will be coming there way

Another ridiculous comment
Who said they wont sell?We all know mid range has more potential to turn profit than high end.
Thats good news but AMD need to keep this momentum going, if they don't say something meaningful about what they are doing with Polaris soon it will be back down to 18% by the end of this quarter as people conclude AMD are out of this round and move on to their rivals.

Using the same source material, this writer puts them at 22.7% market share
http://fudzilla.com/news/graphics/40708-amd-clawing-back-gpu-market-share
More reasonable.
The biggest question mark is when does the GP106 line get released, and when will we really see Polaris (computex is not a certainty). I expect AMD will have a reasonable lead but I don't think nvidia will be far behind, perhaps just 2 months. Nvidia can also drop prices of all Maxwel cards quite a lot in the interim. A well priced 980 may well take on Poalaris.
Will be good to get some competition again.
They are actually saying exactly the same thing without giving an overall share figure at all.
22.7% share is for Desktop Graphics only,
38.7% for Laptop Graphics.
This is exactly exactly the same as PC & Tech article.
The only difference is FUD don't say what the overall share is, which is 29.4%.
Interesting, TBH the 22.7% sound more realistic. AMD simply haven't released products or slashed prices since they were at 18%.
It is understandable if Nvidia slipped slightly in the last quarter because everyone was waiting on Pascal.
Or because they realeased a few bad drivers, and the maxwells fared bad in DX12 games
That may be but the historic low-point 18% market share figure is based on discrete desktop GPU's AFAIK, so AMD have gone form 18.1 to 22.7% which is a nice start and I hope it continues with Polaris.
LOL
Not if *read my last post in Polaris thread*
