I never said that you said that having a halo product doesn't help.
| eva01beserk said: Like I said to someone else here. I think most people on this market are like you. This is not the kind or market where you can be careles and just buy whatever and you guys keep up with tech. I don't think theres much blind loyalty. If amd offers something again that offers great value guys like you and others interested in whatever tier offers it and really consider it and do your do research. Regardles of history. |
I would like to think that is the case, it's undeniable that nVidia simply has the stronger brand with lots of sponsorship and advertising happening in the PC space and is simply innovating much harder, but also pushes harder with propriety technologies.
When AMD has released a compelling product they tend to have been rewarded with marketshare increases which the graph I provided prior demonstrates.
It's been about 15~ years since AMD has been nVidia's equal in terms of marketshare with some high-points being the Radeon 4870, 5870, Radeon x1950, Radeon X850, Radeon 9700 Pro.
And recently they clawed back some marketshare after their lowest points with Fiji. - Doesn't help that AMD was just rebadging product lines every year at that point either with a couple new cards sitting on top so they deserved the decline.
We also need to remember that AMD was fumbling during the stars and bulldozer era where they rolled their GPU development teams into the CPU departments... And only a few years ago decided to make them separate entities again, we are only now just starting to see the benefits of that disconnect.
