AMD Market Share Crash, 3 out of 4 use Nvidia GPUs

A member of the Beyond3d Forums, known as dbz, has created a graph showing the percentage market share of AMD/ATI and Nvidia discrete GPUs which goes all the way back to 2003. Please click the image below to see it fullscreen.

Worryingly in recent years AMD has been struggling to maintain market share and in 2014 have dropped from 35% to 24% while Nvidia has climbed from 62% to 76% market share.

The drastic drop in market share this year from AMD is due to Nvidia's release of their Maxwell architecture and AMD's releasing of almost no new discrete GPUs.

If AMD cannot release some competitive new GPUs and soon Nvidia may have no choice but to stagnate in the GPU market for a while, as Nvidia would not want AMD to go under and have to deal with laws of owning a monopoly and the antitrust investigations that would occur. This is likely why Nvidia have been making a lot of moves with their Tegra K1 and X1 SoCs as this is an area of their market where Nvidia can actually grow.

Hopefully AMD can pull a white rabbit out of their hat when they release their R9 390 series later this year, but until then Nvidia will certainly remain the dominant force in the GPU market space.

You can join the discussion on AMD's crash in market share and Nvidia's recent rise on the OC3D Forums.
