With iGPU encroachment, dGPU will have to be higher margin to offset the lower volume moving forward. Aka. Gamers better get used to paying more for GPUs.
When I saw how successful Titan-series prices were, I gave up hope on prices.
As a long time PC gamer, I have no issues paying "more" for a product I perceive as earning it. I was already dropping $500-600 every year for a GPU going as far back as 1998. Until AMD was nice enough to give me $300-400 cards, which they took back.
Those buyers won't fade, and Nvidia knows it and it looks like AMD is realizing it.

Seems quite a few people confused the results and linking it to 300 series & Fury.. wrong data dates.
This data is the continuation of the pwnage that the 200 series suffered with its bad rep of hot, loud, power hungry.
By this logic hbm amd cards should fly off the shelves....Just take a look at how physically small the typical NV cards are versus how long AMD cards are. You can't really fault the typical guy on the street to conclude a shorter card = less power use and with less potential chassis fit issues. Even my own 7950 ever-so-barely fits into a Corsair 250D mITX case.
I doubt card size enters the equation at all in any measurable amount. If you asked novice system builders what mistake they made in their build, I guarantee you a good chunk of them will say "video card clearance" because they didn't check the length before buying. A subset of the already small subset of people who build their own PCs actually take into consideration card size.
I think this needs to be quoted some more.Seems quite a few people confused the results and linking it to 300 series & Fury.. wrong data dates.

Some more market research numbers. Nvidia is taking marketshare heavily in desktop discrete. AMD is in freefall losing 35% of their desktop discrete GPU market share in 4 quarters. Pathetic. I don't think AMD can do anything about it with this product stack. :thumbsdown:
No, that s not, MCR numbers are for desktops shipped by OEMs and do not include GPUs sold in the retail chain to AT users for exemple, and local PC assemblers are not even included.
As such Nvidia is lying with this slide as they imply that MRC numbers are for the whole GPU market, yet another viral marketing scheme from this usual suspect...
Total AIB shipments decreased this quarter to 9.4 million units from last quarter.
Seems like it was pretty accurate I'd say:

Of course that it s accurate since these are the same datas as Mercury, that is, they do not include the retail sales and local assemblers, that s really a caricatural case where two wrongs wont make a right...
Honestly I am surprised the attach rate is even 30% on desktops.

JPRs AIB Report tracks computer add-in graphics boards, which carry discrete graphics chips. AIBs used in desktop PCs, workstations, servers, and other devices such as scientific instruments. They are sold directly to customers as aftermarket products, or are factory installed. In all cases, AIBs represent the higher end of the graphics industry using discrete chips and private high-speed memory, as compared to the integrated GPUs in CPUs that share slower system memory.
PC gaming isn't dying. It's just shifted UP the price segment.

Who said PC gaming is dying? However the discrete GPU is despite the increased sales of higher end Geforce cards for now.
The future is PC gaming on IGPs(If not online streaming), no matter if we like it or not. But the PC gaming part doesnt depend on the discrete GPU.
