I don't think so...Was this due to their cheap prices
Spent £2100 in my GPU. I don't get to upgrade often having a PC game hating Mrs. She wanted a new car, I wanted a new gaming PC so a resoluting was made. My PC cost more then her £7500 car!

Nvidia now at 90% market share.

I really hope AMD and Intel can bring more to the table. It will hopefully bring the prices down. Cost of Nvidia GPU's at present are mental.

They are, that's why PS5 Pro went up in price. A decently fast one should be around $1000.
Anyway, AMDs response will be doing the same it has done already, expecting things to improve by themselves.

This is really the problem though. You're not asking them to bring more to the table so you can buy their product, you're asking them to do it so Nvidia make their cards cheaper.
Of course.

How does that make any of the situations better though? Why would the market be better for the consumer at all?Of course.
Why would Nvidia drop prices when they know people will buy them anyway?
Well done Nvidia at reaching 90%.
Nvidia achieves the highest GPU market share of its history - OC3D
Nvidia has dominated the competition with 90% GPU market share in Q3 2024, outselling the competition 9:1.overclock3d.net
I really hope AMD gets their act together and repeat what they have done on the CPU side against Intel - we might be a few generations from that.
Regarding "highest marketshare of its history", not 100% true, depending on how strict you are in defining the market. nVidia "invented" the GPU (blurred line between invention and innovation) so their 1st product had technically 100% market share.

"invented" being the right phrase, they just adopted a term that was already out there to their newest gpu at the time to claim they were first.

Yeah, pretty much this....

Your expectations in Intel and AMD solving your unaffordable Nvidia problem for you will only result in disappointment, them existing to bleed money so you can buy cheaper products from their competitors is not a business strategy, pretend Intel and AMD don't exist and go from there because so far as Nvidia are concerned this is how it is.

You're never going to buy an Intel or AMD GPU, Nvidia know this and treat you accordingly, good luck....

I am planning or hoping rather for good thing for AMD next gen. I am not expecting it to beat a 4090 or 5090. I would just want something with good raster performance and better ray tracing performance. Even though I am indifferent to ray tracing I noticed that the Indy game forces you to have ray tracing. It could be a worrying trend or it could be nothing nevertheless I would like to keep all the bases covered.

I think a lot of people don't realise how bad a monopoly is and will only realise it when they have no choice any more.

There's always a chance people will take a shot on AMD or Intel if they provide at least the same features, performance and consistency at similar price. Until then...

A lot of the time they do already. Admittedly DLSS has an edge over other upscaling and RT performance is better (but at lower end that isn't much of a factor anyway) but people have preconceived notions about other cards cause they read something on the internet 10 years ago and are adamant anything non Nvidia is terrible.

I'm not sure how different an Nvidia monopoly would be for us at this point.
As humbug said, it doesn't seem to affect Nvidia's pricing decisions.
AMD seem to base their prices on Nvidia as opposed to the other way around.
Don't Nvidia cards have a lower power draw too?
If you're not sure if this is important, look at the CPU threads where Ryzen is more efficient and people say how important this is.

I think even then a lot of people fool themselves in to thinking it can easily be fixed if someone else does that for them, all they have to do is follow my low knowledge instructions...
There are still people who think Intel can put all this right where AMD failed. flipping amazing....

Worst thing to happen to AMD was the crypto mining boom. They got easy RDNA and RDNA2 sales, and didnt even use that money to increase supply.
They are largely a console chip supplier now as well. If Sony or Microsoft were to ever drop them for nvidia, AMD graphics would be dead.

We don't buy a lot more AMD GPU's when they are cheaper. Not enough, it hardly moves the needle, what do you think this teaches AMD?

Apparently that it's pointless and they shouldn't even bother trying. I'm surprised they haven't pulled out of the consumer GPU market already, especially if they have no appetite for it.
Why do you think they're still bothering?
