They did corner the mining market so I guess the 40% was a low ball figure 🙂

I'm not sure what this means? Mining has not yet shown to have made the needle move much if at all.

Gamers who normally buy AMD were pushed away from Hawaii due to lack of supply as well as insanely inflated prices.

Market share is market share isn't it.

AMD's mining gpu market share is what companies dream of achieving.

I haven't seen any figures but if it was a pie chart I'm not sure if they could draw NVidia market share line thin enough.

their GPUs are really good, just bough a R9 290 and I'm very happy about it :biggrin:

I'll be happy with mine once I put it under water 😉
Too late to sell it now, and I have more faith in AMD reference circuitry, chokes and VRMs than in their partners.
I think my 290 will LOVE THE WATER :biggrin:
GPU MINING fallout:

Most graphics card vendors are expected to see shipments slip 10-20% sequentially in the second quarter of 2014 due to high inventory levels in retail channels,
weak demand in China, as well as off-peak season effects, according to industry sources.
This could axe smaller partners like ECS, XFX and Hightech Information System (HIS)

I'm not sure your following how all of this works, but we can agree to disagree. :thumbsup:

AMD should really reign in this type of stuff. It ultimately ends up reflecting negatively on them, right or wrong.

Latest marketshare numbers show nothing like the OP reported.

So, do you have a source for this yet? Since you post that I assume you do.

I know how it works for the record.

I was just saying that depending on how one tallies market share it could be swung in many ways.

What was worse.

My statement about AMD dominating the gpu mining market?

You bumping this old thread for sake of argument?

Now bite your tongue and move along please.

From that link:
Nvidia's earnings for the first quarter of 2014 were higher than expected thanks to orders for high-end graphics cards, revealed the sources.

Buy NVDA now!

How many shares did you buy?

None. I actually have close to 2000 shares in AMD. Have been slowly playing on the volatility of their stock. Made some decent money, but I'm probably not selling again soon because I think it'll go well above $5 per share before the year is over. As a company goes, I think AMD has made an amazing turn around vs. where they were two and a half years ago and will become a relatively stable profit sustaining operation before the year is over.

That's now how it works. You don't buy AFTER good news... the news is already factored into the price.

I don't think it is in this case because it isn't reported news. It's just hearsay from a website devoted to covering 3D graphics. The stock has been relatively stable over the past weeks and months, if not slowly inching upward. There has been nothing that shows the market is aware of any news, good or bad. Nvidia reports earnings Wednesday. I'll betcha there will be a nice spike post-earnings. But then again, if Nvidia forecasts Tegra revenue to continue to be crappy, then that may wipe out the good feelings of beating earnings.

I missed my chance with Nvidia. Had bought last year at under $13, but grew impatient and worried after seeing Tegra 4 nearly DOA and sold for very little profit.

I've been doing this for awhile now it's been great! I don't want to use the word predictable, but AMD has been about as close as you get. On AMD getting to 40%, I don't think they'll get there things will stay about the same a few % back and forth.
