Frankly, it's incredible to see where they are now compared to a year ago. Their share price hit a low of $1.83 on February 16th last year. Lisa Su deserves immense credit for the turnaround they've made under her leadership.
So if VEGA comes along with amazing performance for around the same price, you think no one will buy it? Come on...
Whinge much?
If you want to just bitch and moan about a product that we know little to nothing about then why dont you create an "I hate AMD" thread and go and do it in there. Alternatively go into the Nvidia drivers section and whinge and moan with how crap your drivers have been over the last 12-18 months..Hmmm getting a bit of a rep now those crap Nvidia drivers.
Nvidia users trying desparately to keep the mindshare going all one way with whinging and mis-information. Look whatever AMD release wont change a thing in your eyes but I have seen plenty of forum posts all over that convince me that there are quite a few Nvidia owners who are going to switch to the Red side if Vega is competitive and I beleive that is what we will get this time around.
Less than six months worth of driver updates is all it took to make the 480 a 1060 beater in most games in DX11 & DX12 let alone Vulkan (Only Doom so far, but it's a start). Things are getting better in camp AMD/RTG on a regular basis, so with the Vega showing we have had so far I think this could be a turning point in there fortunes.
This Quarter is going to be Ryzen and no company in their right mind would shadow the launch of what is to be their most important product yet with another big product...That's just common sense surely. Also we all know that AMD just doesnt have the money to knock out a new arch every 12 months to "catch up" with Nvidia.
So to all the smug little Nvidia chimps out there, go to your own Forums and talk drivel (about AMD if it makes you feel better) and stop the crap spouting in a thread that is about supposed to be about something else entirely.
No wonder Nvidia mindshare is so strong.....lots of minions spouting rubbish louder than anyone else.
I think there's several possible ways it's done, They do a few thousand mainly newcomer accounts to make up the data used for the survey or if there isn't enough new accounts they make the numbers up by asking old accounts to do the survey again, that allows them to provide good data on what gpu's are trending at the time. Because new accounts are more likely to have new machines and hardware it allows the survey to show what hardware is selling well that month. Whats debatable is whether it is just that data that's used or if the end result is made up using old data as well.
