I know it's not indicative of the industry as a whole, but the Steam hardware survey has Nvidia at 75%. So while they're still selling strong, as others have indicated, I'm not confident they're getting used for gaming.

Everyone and their manager wants to play with LLMs and and and Intel still don’t have a real alternative to CUDA and so are much less popular for compute applications.

AMD needs to fix their software.

I had an AMD GPU last year for a couple weeks, but their software barely works. The overlay didn't scale properly on a 4k screen and cut off half the info, and wouldn't even show up at all most of the time, 'ReLive' with instant replay enabled caused a performance hit with stuttering in high FPS games...

Maybe they have it now, but I also couldn't find a way to enable HDR on older games like Nvidia has.

„The Market” is not a good measure. Hell, its not even a measure at all. No consumer is able to pull any good info from this article.

Its the equivalent of „How much money has been spent of products by company xy”, completely disregarding if the products sold are even competing with each other, let alone if the production of one company is even trying to sell at that scale

Now regarding the article: they are not differentiating between enterprise and personal grade products. Of course Intel is non existent in Enterprise GPU sales, because they don't even sell fucking Enterprise GPUs. Same with amd.

This is like comparing a local steel working company with weckerle machines who mostly makes industry Make-up equipment (out of steel) and saying that Weckerle dominates the Market

Or like saying „Gamers Beware: Pre-built PCs are dominating the market”, then showing a study about „ Computing devices”, and showing that the 2 main sources are Enterprise buying bulk and NUCs, both of which have nothing to do with what the article is implying in the first place, since, and say this with me

  • Enterprise devices are completely different from consumer devices, both in terms of price and in volume, and if compared directly (in the middle of an economic crisis) of course an Enterprise is going to spend way more money on one category.

Y'all have pre-built phones? And even laptops? Or car computers??
Weirdos.

/s

But def, this type of info is at best for the investors (and even then just unstructured info about market shares), not consumers.

TIL there's a lot of people who don't know what a dGPU is in here

[–] FlembleFabber@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Thanks for explaining

Who the hell keeps buying nvidia? Stop it.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The vast majority of consumers do not watch or read reviews. They walk into a Best Buy or whatever retailer and grab the box that says GeForce that has the biggest number within their budget. LTT even did a breakdown at some point that showed how even their most watched reviews have little to no impact on sales numbers. Nvidia has the mind share. In a lot of people's minds GeForce = Graphics. And I say all that as someone who is currently on a Radeon 7900XTX. I'd be sad to see AMD and Intel quit the dGPU space, but I wouldn't be surprised.

It’s the fucking AI tech bros

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Microsoft.

Microsoft is buying them for AI.

From what I understand, chatGPT is running on azure servers.

Don't forget the crypto scammers.

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (4 children)

GPU hasnt been profitable to mine for many years now.

People just keep parroting anti-crypto talking points for years without actually knowing what'a going on

To be clear, 99% of the crypto space is a scam. But to blame them for GPU shortages and high prices is just misinformation

IMO there’s zero reason to buy an nvidia gpu if there’s a similarly performing amd card because the price will just be better.

[–] Garry@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Amd promised a msrp of 600 for the 9070xt, it rarely goes below 750. All amd had to do was stick to their prices and have ample stock. Amd is satisfied with second place

AMD seems to be doing fine, Nvidia just doing finer. If this was 10 years ago, it'd be a lot more concerning but now AMD has a healthy home and server CPU business and GPU server business and they're the standard for handheld PCs. Along with consoles, that'll keep FSR relevant and their server stuff will keep funding for UDNA. Samsung uses AMD GPUs for their Exynos chips and that sounds like it may make it's flagship return with the next Galaxy phones. They're not drowning

I think Nvidia has better marketing. I never really hear anything about AMD cards, where I would I instead hear about Nvidia.

[–] thisNotMyName@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Intel cards are awesome in a homeserver for media transcoding. Super cheap, super capable, power saving compared to other cards with the features. And although Intel has become a shitty company, I'd really like to see more competition on the gpu market

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

I don’t get this.

Well, if this includes laptops, I get that. Just try to find a dGPU laptop with AMD or Arc these days.


…But in desktops, everyone seems to complain about Nvidia pricing, yet no one is touching Battlemage or the 9000 series? Why? For gaming specifically, they seem pretty great in their price brackets.

Maybe prebuilts are overshadowing that too?

Its always been this way: they want AMD and Intel to compete so Nvidia gets cheaper, not that they will ever buy AMD or Intel. Gamers seem to be the laziest, most easily influenced consumer sector ever.

That is concerning
