Nvidia's GPU market share hits 90% in Q4 2024 (gets closer to full monopoly)

[AusWolf]

Criticism doesn't mean anything if there are no consequences, Nvidia has such a long history trying to pull these sorts of things it's hard to believe anything serious is going to happen, even the 970 lawsuit things was kind of a joke, only applied to US and the compensation was on a per request basis and this looks way worse than that.

Such is the narrative. Nvidia gets away with everything because "they are the best", while AMD are a bunch of greedy bastards because they won't give their cards away for free with a hot girl dressed in red begging people to get one in front of every PC store.

I love the connector though. If the nitro 9070xt has a 12vh, im inclined to support the card (you know, by actually buying it, not with forum posts )

You know very well it'll have 3x8-pins. Such a mean-spirited comment!

 

[JustBenching]

Nvidia doesn't get away with anything, simply reading the comments the last few days it's obvious that a huge reason nvidia sells that well was physx support, apparently there are hundreds of games that were unplayable without Physx. That's an actual argument @Hecate91 used. So how would we expect the marketshare to be anything BUT 90 / 10 when hundreds of games couldn't be played on amd?

@oxrufiioxo said it might have 12vh. Why are you so sure? Asrock is also rumored to have 12vh in the taichi model

AMD has stated they will provide FSR4 on RDNA3, just as they did provide ryzen 5800x3d to b350 boards eventually. You are making things up.

“We may be able to optimize it to work on RDNA3 architecture. And we are, we want to do it, but we have work to do for now.”

Notice the difference?

They get away with everything because they're a touch better at RT and have DLSS, which is apparently worth being ripped off for.

Retaining the 8-pin connector is one of AMD's biggest selling points.

Better not promise anything, just saying "maybe" doesn't make people as mad if they don't provide it.

Then that's not them getting away, it's them having better features. If amd had a 4090 competitor in RT performance last gen i'd be buying. They don't, so I didn't. I don't feel like I was ripped off, in fact coming from my 3090 I think the 7900xtx would be a much bigger rip off, since the games it couldn't play the XTX couldn't either.

And let's not forget about physx, hundreds of games were unplayable on amd due to physx missing. That's a strong selling point, no?

Melting connectors, missing ROPs, drivers with black screen and BSOD, these are amazing features, too. But nobody cares because of "features". This is what I mean by getting away.

Why do you keep bringing PhysX up?

How are they getting away have you seen sales of 5xxx?

Because not being able play to play hundreds of games with anything but an nvidia card is a huge selling point. That alone is enough to explain the 90/10 marketshare.

 

[AusWolf]

As far as I know, they sold all 10 cards that they made.

Possibly.

You'd expect them to have 0 sales? Tbf all the reasons you are bringing up are a non issue. I'm not buying a 5090 cause the performance increase over my 4090 isn't good enough. If I had a 3090 I would though. Nobody cares about missing ROPs, those are under warranty for damns shake.

The black screens have nothing to do with Blackwell, it's the 572 drivers, it's happening on my 4090 as well. 566 are fine.

 

[Zazigalka]

How could Nvidia still on the rise even at those prices with missing rops and design flaws?

Those are not representing post launch numbers

The drivers will be fixed, the missing ROP cards will be replaced, but the burning connector is definitely an issue. As long as it persists, they will have zero sales from me, that's for sure.

What I meant is, I haven't heard of anyone camping in from of a Microcenter to get an AMD card despite any issue they might have had in the past.

So from a long list of issues we are now down to the connector. I understand why someone wouldn't want to use it, but you need to understand that there are people that don't have an issue with using one (myself included, I actually prefer it).

People are camping out to buy halo products. Not saying I approve, but it kinda makes sense. Nobody is camping out to buy a 5070. When amd starts offering halo cards people will camp out for them as well I assume.

you were not going to buy a 5090 either way

you can buy the rest of the pack as those don't melt connectors, i solved your problem

If the price / value isn't right, I won't buy those either. AMD is generally cheaper, has the classic 8-pins, and has better Linux support. Multiple problems solved.

I'm sure Jensen will never recover from these news, and Nvidia stock will probably crash after what you declared. No one gives a f mate.

Who said anything about Nvidia stock? You made a personal suggestion to me. I made myself a better one.

Like that's an answer to anything on a public forum. Well done, mate, top attitude!

you were making an argument about a card you were never going to buy anyway. That's supposed to mean what?
I will never support Buggati either

Does that mean you can't talk about it? Not at all.

Edit: Also, Nvidia is not Bugatti at all.

Until all the issues are fixed, they are all problems for anyone buying a 50 series card, even worse for people buying pre-built systems likely unaware of any issues.
A card being under warranty doesn't mean anything if sending in a card requires waiting months for a replacement, and the amount of cards with missing ROPs doesn't seem to be known either. Nvidia has yet to make an open statement about any of the issues. IMO, a short PR response to a news article isn't enough, Nvidia needs to apologize and recall affected cards, they're trying to do an Intel with not doing actual customer support.
So if drivers can be excused for Nvidia by going back to an older version,50 series owners can't btw they're stuck with black screens, then no one can say AMD drivers are crap since Nvidia gets a free pass.

There are a lot of older games people are fond of that have Physx, they are playable without but it's still laughable that Nvidia shafted their own customers because they used Physx as hardware locked shovelware putting it in every game they could and now they stopped supporting it.

 

[freeagent]

Nvidia doesnt get a pass on anything, put your pompoms away there cheerleaders lol.

Pages of the same rhetoric. Can we add something new to the conversation?

sure you can i talk, but not pretending you were ever going to buy it, and won't just because of this. The same i will never buy a Bugatti because of what they done, true story.

He is correct though, the cards you have said you are going to buy (less than 250w if I remember correctly) will have less than 0 issues with the connector.

I think I've said before, it's not that Nvidia is getting a freepass, it's that your double standards are through the roof. And it all comes down to your hatred of everything with nvidia on it.

Nobody ever said "don't buy xtx cause of the faulty coolers". People bought them and nobody cares (it's the best selling rdna 3 card btw), because in the unlikely chance that's it's affected, you got warranty. Chill out my dude, it's not a big deal. We'll, it's not a big deal for people that are going to buy the damn cards, it seems people that weren't even gonna buy them ever are the most affected by the missing ROPs. Weird.

yep, pretty shitty of them I agree. i was actually hoping to replay some older physx games on a new nvidia gpu someday simply because i was trying to outlast the performance hit, as it was too much of a performance hit on say a gtx 970 to enable it in batman arkham asylum, etc. so yeah
