Jon Peddie Research: NVIDIA reaches 80% discrete GPU market share

The 5600XT is a decent card, it's just poorly priced. If it'd been on par with the 1660S price-wise I think it'd have done well.
The 5500's always seemed a bit pointless though, you can get the RX580 and RX590 for less and there's little to no performance difference.

Hopefully this puts pressure on AMD to keep pricing down on Navi X2!
Yeah, if they are the right price i think it will...

Yeah I was going to take the michael and post a grey chart one colour with same labels as its a horrific visual.
Lol.
To some, even sampling this enthusiast forum it makes no difference "the drivers, heat.." oh how the flippening is nigh.

AMD should have kept the RX680 name and pricing.
No surprise there. AMD's we are a premium brand (comes in 1-2 years late and demands near same moneys) is not working. They need to do a Ryzen or things wont change any time soon.
I recon they should get 4K8K in to head RTG

People said this about AMD Vs Intel in relation to Ryzen.

It's AMD's fault not nvidias. Let's give them some hearty back slaps 'cos you know, never a bad word to say about nvidia.
I rather like the idea of what small ITX Powercolor 5600 XT. Hard to beat at 180mm, near the top of TPU's perf/watt chart, quiet, and performs between a RTX 2600 and RX5700.
Price might not be that great, so not high enough volume to take much marketshare.
The 5500 and 590 situation is stranger.
Can't help think that the Polaris port to 12nm was mismanaged. Why bother to port it and then overvolt and clock it so high and keep volumes low?
Clocked down to the speed of a 580, the 12nm version should have a pretty good uplift like Ryzen 1000 vs Ryzen 2000. Okay, so wouldn't command the same price but GF's 12nm must have been cheap by then.
Certainly the chasing of margins, aka the "we don't want to be known as the cheap brand" hasn't worked well.
Kind of ironic, AMD have the vast majority of consoles (Switch has some volume but do any developers even take it seriously), but almost no PC marketshare. And of course, while the console margins are low they have great volume. Since taping out costs a lot these days, it doesn't make sense to keep Navi expensive unless wafers are short.

Eh?
The 7970 was so good that nvidia released their mid-range chip as the 680 to counter it...lol...and left the proper top end kepler for the "next" gen as the 780 (ti)
