Why don't Nvidia,ATI,AMD,ect advertise on TV?

[Sniper82]

I know Intel does some or did. Is it a waste of money or something? Always wondered why Nvidia and/or ATI advertise their latest cards on TV or AMD with their newest CPU.

Because they dont wanna waste their money? I cant remember the last time I saw a commercial since I tape everything with DVR. And with my cable bill well over $100 I dont see why I should have to watch commercials. Make the cable companies pay the channels.

Because a majority of people buy a video card that comes with the computer and never replace it.

I guess the majority of CPUs and graphic cards is sold in pre-built systems.

In my opinion TV ads make more sense for products separately sold to the end user, or if you are a little known manufacturer.

Plus, it's not easy to explain Joe Average (and TV ads are too dear for ads which do not adress a broad audience) why this products are good. Imagine benchmarks on the TV ...

that and because people like you are all the advertising they need.

Smart people, their target customers, don't watch much TV.. and if they watch TV, they don't watch much commercials.

Would you want to pay for their advertising in the price of their product?

It is phrased kinda funny like. If you read what you said too fast it does not make a whole lot of sense.

Bingo. Their target clients are PC manufacturers, not end users.
