4q 2009 (when the 5xxx series was launched) NVIDIA took 65.1% of the discrete market. In fact they actually gained market share over ATI that quarter. They were ahead in the 1Q of this year as well. They basically broke even in the 3Q. This is not steam it's actual sales data.
/end thread derail. Continue amongst yourselves but the facts are indisputable.
The GTS450 looks to arrive Sept 12. Should be a good product and a good seller for NVIDIA. :thumbsup:
They're disputable, the HD 4800 series has higher market share than the GT200 series, and AMD has the 90% of the DX11 market share shipping more than 16 millions of DX11 worldwide, nVidia couldn't even break the 1 million barrier. :biggrin:
And this are the news in may here which contains info of cards shipped until march:

"“We have shipped over eleven DirectX 11 GPUs since we launched in the fall. It is a huge technology effect. Microsoft has told us that the transition to DirectX 11 has been the fastest transition for DirectX ever,” said Leslie Sobon, vice president of worldwide product marketing at AMD, during a press event at Computex Taipei.
According to ATI’s arch-rival Nvidia Corp. itself and independent analysts, Nvidia shipped around 400 thousand DirectX 11-capable graphics till mid-May 2010."
Then months later, look at these on July of cards shipped until June:

"Noting that the graphics segment revenue was up eight per cent sequentially and a huge 87 per cent year-on-year, AMD divulged that it had shipped more than 16 million Radeon HD 5000 GPUs since the launch nine months' ago.
Tellingly, AMD CEO, Dirk Meyer, confirmed that the next iteration of DX11 GPU hardware would be introduced later on this year: "In the second half of the year, we expect GPU demand to remain healthy and supply constraints to ease. We remain on track to bolster our GPU leadership with the introduction of our second generation DX11 graphics products, later this year."
Helping boost Q2 2010 revenue to $1.65bn, up from $1.18bn a year ago, and contributing to a 45 per cent gross margin - compared with 67 per cent for Intel during the same period - the outlook for the technology sector is certainly a lot rosier than a year ago."
Save your time an put him on your ignore list. How long did it take you to type this anyway?
This GTS450 is not gonna sell very well. I don't know a single person who wanted 5770/5750 performance that doesn't already have a 5770 or a 5750 or a 4870 or a GTX260. Nobody is gonna buy that card, not even wreckage.
That is still if its priced $135, you could always aim it at the 5670 at $100
The GTS 450 needs to be priced at $100 to make sense.
