Desktop discrete GPUs increased 6.69% from last quarter, and notebook discrete shipments decreased 1.3%. AMD’s total PC graphics shipments increased 5.2% from the previous quarter.

Intel’s desktop processor embedded graphics (EPGs) shipments increased from last quarter by 6.1%, and notebook processors decreased by -1.7% increased 0.7% from last quarter.

Nvidia’s desktop discrete GPU shipments were down -7.56% from last quarter; and the company’s notebook discrete GPU shipments increased 34.2% increased 8.4% from last quarter.

Mirrors what I'm seeing in casual forums as now the GTX 970 isn't being recommended as much and the R9 390 is. Seems AMD is slowly gaining some traction and if Polaris launches first, I expect a large reversal in AMD's fortunes on the GPU side. Being first to market on a new node is huge right now. Especially in this situation for AMD.

Still unexpected though to see Nvidia decrease in GPU shipments and AMD increase (discrete).

Oops, sorry about that NVIDIA

I think a few of us played a role in this when we sorta, kinda kicked off the Async Compute controversy. When I invited Kollock over to overclock.net to comment after my theory on the matter the issue blew up. That probably played a role...

Yes you are right that now developers will use AC only for 10% to 20% of PC users and 80% of PC users can go to hell and later on after they release the game on PC then developers goes bankrupt because game was non selling on PC due to 80% of PC users cant use AC yet.

So you think that is the purpose of these forums, to promote one company and spread theories and speculation to drive the market away from another? Serious question, because that sounds like what you are saying.

No,

I think that the Ashes of the Singularity Async controversy played a role in AMDs discrete GPU gains.

The controversy was founded on facts and facts have a way of swaying people.

The purpose of hardware forums is to discuss hardware. That's what I do. Some things are speculation, because GPU makers keep a tight lid for competitive reasons, while others are blatant facts.

Absolutely nothing wrong with discussing GPU architectures afaik.

What AC has to do in this topic.

You just create this account to promote AMD and claim things which AMD or Nvidia did not even claim.

Member callouts are not allowed. -Shmee

NVIDIA can run the code, they just don't receive a performance benefit. So the games run on all DX12 GPUs.

Both consoles use Asynchronous Shading. So the console ports are probably going to arrive with the feature.

The feature adds much needed competition to the GPU market, driving prices for GPUs down and pushing innovation forward.

No, I was invited over to talk during the Async controversy.

And that's that.

I will now ignore you

I have reported about you for promoting the company.

You didnt say anything when 100% of PC Gamers went to HELL with GameWorks games performing like shit last year.

With or without AC, NVIDIA hardware is performing fine and 100% of Gamers enjoy the games, unlike GW titles.

More then 70% of DGPU users can use gameworks and it can be disable if people cannot use it. Unlike Intel and Nvidia cannot use it yet. According to some posters now developers will only use AC in all upcoming games and only luxury less then 10% users will afford to use it.

Talking about a company's hardware features is not promoting.

I did, he was talking about a Hardware Feature (Async Compute).

When people were talking about Tessellation or Hyper Threading they were promoting a company ??

So you mean AC has decrease the sale of Nvidia gpu?

did he write something wrong?
put link please
i havent read something wrong.
hust he smashing sotin post´s whit facts

Not enough, Microsoft should get more aggressive on exposing the GCN feature sets if they want to keep AMD alive ...

Access to barycentric coordinates and some DS instructions would come in handy ...

So, just got back from a late dinner , and Wow, just wow...I believe that Mahigan has been educating consumers, such as myself who are looking to make our next upgrade decision, and don't want to be blindsided by buying into tech that may have limited optimization period due to its arch. In fact, he is doing exactly what should have been done all along to highlight the arch differences between Nvidia and AMD. Just because the async seems to favor AMD, now people want to censor this information? That would be a huge disservice to the PC gaming community, and those wishing for it are promoting Nvidia, de facto..... unbelievable.... talk about market inefficiency by stifling free exchange of information between consumers..... So, the guy expresses an opinion about why ac or whatever affected sales of whomever, that's what again?
