I’m going to say it before anyone else: AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

The market share drops not because AMD is bad or something. It drops because Nvidia has flooded the market.
AMD can make only so much cards on TSMC foundries.

Nvidia all day, better everything period.

One of the major reason for this high market share is prebuilts and offline store
According to a comment which i found few days back the guy had a pc building shop and he said that most prebuilts and shop use nvidia cards cause they’re famous and second on bulk purchase you can get good discount on nvidia while amd simply doesn’t care and that’s why it’s very rare to find prebuilts with amd GPU even tho they’ve better value
And 90% of the people who consider buying pc either go for overpriced nvidia prebuilt or some offline built service that’s one of the major reason for this imo

I really don’t think people understand market share.
The majority of people do not build their own PCs. They go to stores, retailers… People who own such places care about margins and invoicing numbers, not performance per dollar… And the green team usually does much better on both fronts in most of the world.

I cant really use amd gpu – I make 3d animations and models. AMD is super behind in the raytracing department. Some investment there is needed

Maybe AMD should actually make their GPUs competitive.
Until then I’m not going to recommend them.
Their market share is based on the quality of their product

AMD’s software is about a generation behind NVIDIA nowadays. Plus AMD’s GPU prices, while technically a better value by raw performance, aren’t really THAT much better than NVIDIA GPUs (especially when considering frame gen/DLSS). If AMD cards were priced to where their performance per dollar was so much better than NVIDIA that you can ignore that software gap, they’d have a bigger market cap. Plus the other reasons people mentioned here.

I’m going amd regardless because it is easy for me.

I really hoped the crypto crash would have helped but was not expecting the AI Explosion.

AMD is fine not competing with Nvidia and it shows.

I’ve had a couple of AMD GPU’s but i don’t like the software tbh.

AMD could have won a big share of the market if they decided to aggressively drop their prices and be competitive

Fuck Nvidia drivers though, especially on Linux

Just when they were about to make make them competitive

Gamers still in think the Nvidia market is about gamers, its not.
The majority of nvidia cards are being used by high end designers, AI workloads, crypto, and anything else thats written for cuda.
Cuda is the problem, so much software only supports cuda you have to have an nvidia gpu if you need cuda.
Nvidia makes like $3 billion from gamers a quarter and over $20billion from data centers a quarter.
Most 4090s arent being bought by gamers, they’re bought by data centers and professionals.
Gaming used to be nvidia’s largest source of revenue but now here in 2024 80+% of Nvidia revenue is non gaming, its AI, crypto, professionals etc.
Amd is way behind in the market on gpus, amd demand is mostly gamers, nvidia demand is mostly not gamers.
