They've been working on it for over 5 years, and the best anyone has seen was a system no one could see inside of that ran ray-tracing badly (artifacts, etc.). Intel has completely missed the GPGPU boat, and by the time they finally get on it, ATI/NVidia/Their Dog will have made new innovations that make whatever they produce irrelevant again.

They will soon. Encoding, rendering HD Flash, etc. will soon be moving to the GPU. In some cases, it's 6 times faster to encode on the GPU. There are a ton of other applications that are on the way. People may need it as the internet continues to rely on CPU bogging flash.
How could a company that's worth less than AMD's debt buy them out?
That being said I still don't see how people still have the AMD dooms day thing going. There better positioned now then they have been in like 2-3 years.
I really have to give it to you Wreckage. Just when I have the lowest possible amount of respect for you, you have to go ahead and prove "hey wait, i actually got more fecal matter to smear across a few thousand pixels of your screen. " Day after day goes by when i enjoy reading a thread and all of a sudden bam! Another thread falls useless and ruined by either you or the people like me who feel compelled to bring to attention that you are in fact a troll who likes to stir up trouble.
See buddy, I like many people here come to these forum pages to gather and disscuss facts about video cards and share experiences. I do this hoping to obtain myself and spread to others good fortune while gaming.
As a completely neutral purchaser and enthusiast, I buy from whomever (AMD, nVidia, Intel, Asus, BFG, Sapphire, you name it) has the best product for my needs. I have owned every top end card all the way back to the first 3d accelerators, and most generations I'ved owned the best of each.
I still have most of the ones that wowed me the most
. Not that I'm trying to spout off how I'm the man over here, but i really would like to see you try and be a little less fanboiant and start becoming a more respected member around here.
ON TOPIC, I'm not surprised to see Nvidia chipsets go away. It's their own fault for making Sli licensing a PITA.
At the time I thought those statements were so out of sinc - that it indicated problems coming. Must admit I thought maybe they would be caught in some stock scandal, not the total meltdown that seems to be happening. Maybe they were hoping those statements would help push amd bankrupt.
The graphics market is definitely shrinking, so lets hope dx11 creates demand.

Competition is always good in the market. But even I have to admit. Once I moved to the core 2 duo I havent had an Nvidia chipset in a single computer I have built. With the direction of bringing more and more on the cpu die. There is less and less of a compelling reason to purchase based on chipset in my eyes.
I have used other motherboards which don't use Nvidia Chipsets but have always come back to Nvidia because their chipsets offered the best performance and reliability.

Is this a joke post ? Nvidia's mb chipsets were terrible compared to Intel's.. 680/780 etc.. were crap.

that is a legitimate fear.
Maybe nvidia will end up buying amd so that they can compete head on with intel. We might have to change the name of a few sites, however; AMDslizone?
If that happened you'd see Wreckage on Intel forums telling them how great Eyefinity is and how you can't get that with Intel's parts.
I can't for the life of me figure out which combination of drugs some folks are taking when they promote the idea that nVidia will buy AMD.
Nvidia at the time of the rumor had a market cap of about 10 billion while AMD was about 4 billion. I dont know what their situation is now. That said Nvidia continues to generate profit and if the scenario played out would most likely either liquidate ATI or sell off the name and keep the CPU business.

Nobody will buy AMD they are far too deep in debt. I think they owe between $6-8 billion while the company is worth between $2-3 billion. Most likely they are headed to bankruptcy after which their assets will be liquidated. It's really sad that they have fallen so far.
You do realize I am talking about two different markets right? I can write in crayon if you need me to.
