Nvidia doesn't want to just dominate the graphics card market, it wants to own it

You've actually pointed out why the first thing won't really happen - PC isn't the only gaming platform, people won't buy a new £550 GPU for a 5-10% improvement, just like people don't replace their £300 CPU for a 10% improvement now.

Even if AMD do go under, it isn't like PC gaming has no competition and Nvidia still need to generate revenue so they will have to do that by delivering a reason to upgrade.

Sales figures show the cargo cult in full effect as droves switched from 780Ti to 980 for 5%.

I don't know if you recall those days but there was some kind of mass delusion going on thanks to the marketing blitz that accompanied the launch.

if what you are saying is true, nvidia should have had a big rise in sales figures from the period when the 780ti was on sale to the time period where the 980 was on sale... that didn't happen, AMD's sales fell off but the overall market went down as well, the card that really sold well was the 970, not the 980

you are looking purely at anecdotal evidence and assuming that seeing a few people on one forum do something extrapolates to an entire world wide market... I don't remember very many people saying they were selling a 780ti to get a 980, I think you are reading too much in to a few isolated cases

just look at the difference drivers make
they could force people to upgrade pretty easy

all big companies need competition to keep them honest
AMD have a tough fight, intel and nvidia :o
id start making OhMiBod's instead
maybe a version for pandas or something

Wasn't there also a number of people that moved from HD 58X0 cards to HD 68X0 cards for a loss in performance a few year back?

i do think the 780Ti people went for the 980Ti tho.
i'm not pitting nVidia at all, I feel like they sold a crap load of 970, 980 and 980Ti, compared with other generations.

I don't recall seeing many switching from a 780Ti to a 980 when the 980 was launched but for those that did, maybe they had a higher res and wanted the extra 1GB of VRAM. I did see someone buy a Titan X and do nothing but whinge at people for buying Nvidia though :p
 
lol :)

but back to the OP
i can see geforce now being pretty popular if they get good games on it
living room gaming has to be a bigger market than ppl that sit at pc's
