Support NeoGAF

[Wolzard]

Q4 2025: NVIDIA reached 94% of the desktop AIB GPU market (+1.6 pp)
AMD: 5% (-1.6 pp)
Intel: 1% (stable)

AIB shipments: -4.4% q/q (11.48 million units), +36% y/y
Cause: price increase (memory + fees)
Attach rate fell to 55% (-12.3 pp) NVIDIA gained market share in a shrinking market.
JPR Forecast: AIB market could fall ~10% by 2026; negative CAGR of -5.9% over the projected period.

That stunt the Radeon Group pulled with ending driver support for RDNA2 sure helped them a lot in building consumer trust.
And no FSR4 Int8 for RDNA3. And that the best upscaler for RDNA 2 and 3 is made by Intel.
And I almost forgot. We still don't have support for FSR4 on Vulkan games, the only option is to use Optiscaler.

 

[lh032]

so even more expensive gpu for the pc market.

Not to mention their inability to get FSR4 support on 6000 and 7000 series.

It's beyond fucking pathetic.

AMD has gone from the nice guy to the "nice guy" as they are desperately trying to get a piece of that AI bubble pie.

 

[Zathalus]

Yeah that tracks. The only reason to get AMD these days is due to the price. Like a 9070 XT is an inferior card to the 5070ti but as it currently stands it is only two thirds of the price.

So maybe due to Nvidia prices spiking, AMD can get some market share back. But I doubt it. Most PC gamers would take a cut to performance or pay a bit more and stick with Nvidia.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

a 9070 went from €540 to 740 in like 3 months and hasn't come down yet, while the XT goes for 800+; no shit you lose marketshare with boneheaded moves like that.

 

[dgrdsv]

Yea, so much for Nvidia not selling any graphics cards.

 

[mrMUR_96]

AMD cards are a step behind Nvidia so they need to be priced like it. I wish intel would push a bit harder with their cards though, they seem to have a great architecture with good upscalers too, but they're so slow at releasing and only have low and barely midrange cards so far.

AMD is like the try-hard high school teen nice guy who finally got a decent girl (9070XT) and now all of the sudden acts like they're the most popular guy in school and tries to court the the hottest girl in school (AI) when she's already taken by the number one jock in school (nvidia).

Honestly this makes me HATE AMD right now.

 

[Moondoggy]

Hate it, but also not surprised, AMD and especially Intel just aren't doing nearly enough to compete at this point.

Yeah, that's the quandary, isn't it. Nvidia are greedy AF, but AMD can't help themselves but constantly f up any good will their customers might have.

U could even say almost each and every guy is as faithful as his options

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Dunno, AMD seems to do well relatively speaking in DIY. Problem is, DIY sales are probably tanking hard because of the price hikes.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Well no shit. When AMD can barely support some products that are two years old where as Nvidia just sunset on the 10XX series almost 9 years old who are you going to trust.

Is that true about the 10 series?, because i swear like a year ago Maxwell was still getting driver support.

You're right though, AMD driver support for older cards has always been terible.

Support Plan For Maxwell, Pascal & Volta Architecture GPUs, and Windows 10

After a final Game Ready Driver release in October 2025, GeForce GPUs based on Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures will transition to receiving quarterly security updates for the next three years (through October 2028). Our support lifetime for these GPUs reaches up to 11 years, well beyond industry norms.

Also, we're extending Windows 10 Game Ready Driver support for all GeForce RTX GPUs to October 2026, a year beyond the operating system's end-of-life, to ensure users continue to receive the latest day-0 optimizations for new games and apps.

Mafia: The Old Country GeForce Game Ready Driver Released

Also includes Game Ready support for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation update, and 62 new G-SYNC Compatible gaming displays.

[OLED_Gamer]

I bought three in a row. All reliable but next gen likely going 6000 series.

Last update was around Oct/Nov last year.

Speaking of which, what's the best bang for buck card to get right now? I have a friend on 10 series still and it's clearly hurting. Don't want to be breaking the bank though (as much as possible in these trying times).

For someone who's lasted on a 1080Ti until now (so not a 4k120 type of gamer) what's a recommended card to go for?

 

[Guardian Monkey]

5070(1440p)/5070ti(4k) are best bang for buck

RTX 5070's you can get on Amazon in the £500-550 range (add 50+ for dollars). price per performnce that is pretty good prices to say how expensive everything is right now.

 

[analog_future]

Literally every new generation of cards we get all of this talk that everyone's finally abandoning Nvidia and moving to AMD, and then literally every generation we get a report that looks exactly like this one lol.


It's like clockwork.

 

[Celcius]

Wouldn't it be considered a monopoly at this point?

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

94%??

 

[Buggy Loop]

Yup

AMD fans are LOUD

On the internet you would think AMD has 75% lol

 

[Puscifer]

Yeah, that's the quandary, isn't it. Nvidia are greedy AF, but AMD can't help themselves but constantly f up any good will their customers might have.

Yeah the AMD and Radeon Reddit's have been extremely negative. Seeing people sell their GPUs while they can to switch to 5080s/5070tis is kinds wild...

 

[Leonidas]

Hopefully AMD will compete better next time so that prices don't increase too much.

I always consider AMD but ever since RTX have only bought Nvidia cards since they seem to hold their value well, partly due to the fact that Nvidia offers great long term support for their GPUs.

 

[Nex240]

DLSS and COVID making AMD believe consumers would want to continue to pay a premium for their GPU's has been a 1-2 knockout combo for them.
The same company that sold the PS4 Pro/One X tier RX 480 for $200 started to ask for $500-600 for PS5/Series X level GPU's... at that point just buy a Nvidia GPU if you are going to be paying that much.

AMD is acting like they're gonna rake in the dough from the AI boom.

With their luck they'll be saddled with a huge contract when the bubble has popped and the demand for data centers craters

nvidia for all their greed is almost always several steps ahead when it comes to seeing the tea leaves and is good at doing just enough to stay relevant to gamers.

 

[dispensergoinup]

9070/XT was supposed to be the savior at its initial price point but when it shot up to 800$ and no stock, most of my friends just bought 5070s at 549$-600$ since they were still available.

Yeah, AMD fucked that one up.

 

[rm082e]

I bought a 9070 XT this time, mainly because it was half the price of a 5080, but also I haven't ever owned an AMD card. I wanted to see what the real world difference was.

I'm quite happy with the value I'm getting for the price that I paid. But I would have gone for a 5080 if it had the specs and performance of a 4090. It was really Nvidia pushed me away more than AMD sold me.

If Nvidia comes back with good value next time around, I might switch back. That seems so far away though...

 

[bender]

Yup

Double entendre?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

This is nearly as bad as it's ever been for Radeon. It sucks to see, PC gaming perpetually in a bad value proposition and Nvidia who barely gives a shit anymore being the main driver of advancement in GPU tech. Somehow Intel is the one with most potential to shake things up, but knowing the company, they will ride coattails like AMD.

 

[Durin]

Doesn't help that they took too long to come up with a decent upscaler, and then didn't plan to scale it back to older hardware on FSR4 release when even Nvidia lets 2000 series cards use the newer transformer model. Clearly possible given Optiscaler exists, but normie or no tech-literacy users aren't going to install that.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Yup

OLED TV is the same, you would think everyone has an OLED TV the way they constantly hype them on the Internet

 

[BarryH1985]

Would you rather they be quiet? Like... Lol

 

[Buggy Loop]

Would you rather they be quiet? Like... Lol

You're overthinking this

It's comical that they're so loud and present on all PC related forums or subreddits or even youtube but yet they are <6%

It's literally the 3rd podium meme of the guy being a jackass but here the 1st place is so distant it might as well just be noise that there's anyone else in the market other than Nvidia.

This market share is why they don't give a fuck. Peecee gamers are retards and deserve the ass rape they get from 'greedia.

Lol no, every enthusiast forum and radeon sub Reddit is infested with Nvidia fans and astroturfers.

 

[Hyper_hyper]

Oh, monopoly. How could they?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Lol no, every enthusiast forum and radeon sub Reddit is infested with Nvidia fans and astroturfers.

lol no, alternate reality?

This very forum, every AMD gen it's more than 6% of all GPU owners, again overwhelmingly loud

Go to pcmasterrace and everyone claims to be AMD. Were you checking there during 9700XT launch?

Find me even a fraction of the AMD YouTube cult equivalent on Nvidia side, you won't. There's no MLID, redgamingtech, etc?

 

[The_Mike]

 

[Buggy Loop]

AMD setting the price in the same ballpark as Nvidia while having nowhere near the same software suite, while also fucking their RDNA 2 & 3 userbase, is all of their doing.

Peoples aren't stupid. AMD is not even trying to compete. The cards are just there I guess, it's their formula 1 equivalent for tech later found in the consoles where the bread and butter is.

If Nvidia was fucking us really royally in margins, the door would be wide open for AMD to slam it open, yet gen after gen, here we are

 

[Leonidas]

Lol no, every enthusiast forum and radeon sub Reddit is infested with Nvidia fans and astroturfers.

If that's the case why is the 9070 XT thread on this forum 27 pages (and still going) when the 5070 thread (likely the top selling current gen GPU) is only 4 pages long...

 

[winjer]

Probably because whenever there is something new to nvidia GPUs, people create a new thread.
The 9070XT thread coalesced all aspects of RDNA4. New drivers, new FSR versions, undervolting, comparisons, etc.

 

[Celcius]

People only want AMD to undercut nvidia prices so that nvidia would be "forced" to respond and then they would buy nvidia anyway lol
The sad part is that I don't see how anyone can catch nvidia at this point.

 

[nkill20]

Would you rather they be quiet? Like... Lol

Yes.
