Demand for Nvidia is there if ATI is sold out

Tables are turning


Most of the market has realized that ATI has the performance crown in every market segment. They are the fastest with Radeon 4870 X2, its 4870 is the best performance card supported by 4850, in mainstream they are doing really well with Radeon 4650 cards, and there is a big chance of success with the soon to launch Radeon 4550 and 4450 based on RV710 chips.


The complete roadmap is in ATI’s favor and we’ve learned that Nvidia cards, including many rebranded cards, are selling well; but at the same time there is more demand for ATI products. To put it in the right perspective there hasn’t been so much demand for ATI for years.

The red team is thrilled, they fulfilled their wildest dreams; while Nvidia, and especially Nvidia partners are not so happy that Nvidia let this happen.

GT200 was supposed to bring the crown and so was the GTX+ based on G92b or Geforce 9500GT, but in each of these segments Nvidia failed to take the performance crown from Radeon 4000 series.

We are sure that Nvidia is working on a solution that might fix this issue, but it's highly likely that we won’t see any serious recovery for Nvidia by some point in 2009.
