Why do some people act like Nvidia is the Intel of PC graphics? It isn't at all true...

The fact that people are still buying more Nvidia despite the much higher price and the weaker perrfomance makes it actually even better than Intel in dominating the competition. At least Intel actually has the better products.

Not true.  AMD and Nvidia sell around the same amount.  The only thing Nvidia has a ton more of is misleading marketing:

Hm... That's a new one. Only shows  how strong the brand name still is.
