Looking at the Steam HW survey ( http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey ), that shows that ATI's 4800 series has almost double the market share of the NV GTX 2x0 range. NV are holding onto market share with older hardware, I wonder how things will look in another 12/18 months.

Layte, the above article is looking at sales. So its irrelevant what hardware is being used in steam. Nor do Nvidia/AMD particularly care what theyve sold in the past.

It shows that in the high end market (which is where bragging rights and mind share usually reside) things are not looking all that rosy for NV. Especially if those trends continue for a few more qtr's.
