ATI Beats Nvidia in GPU Shipment Battle in Q2
ATI cards outsold Nvidia cards during the second quarter.
AMD seems to be having good times on the GPU market thanks to ATI's lead in DirectX 11 parts.
According to Mercury Research's latest market share report for Q2 2010, and AMD’s results compared to the same period last year show that it's taken the lead over Nvidia.
- For the first time in four years, AMD has taken control of the discrete graphics market from Nvidia, with 51.1% market share, up 10.4 points from Q2 2009. In that same period, Nvidia lost 10.4 points.
- In the lucrative Desktop discrete market, AMD gained 11 points in the year, standing at 44.5% market share. This was a direct loss for Nvidia, who fell 10.9 points in the same period.
- In the fast growing mobile discrete market, AMD gained another 2.4 points, now standing at 56.3% market share.
Just tipping over half of the discrete graphics market share doesn't sound like much, considering Nvidia has the other 48.9 percent, but it's a trend that AMD hopes to continue.

Way to go! AMD really had the better product for the better price with the Radeon HD 5 series. Until then I bought all my cards from Nvidia - the 5870 was my first Radeion, but looks like it won't be my last.
i`m glad for amd , but i can`t stop thinking that they are kind of ripping us off because of the lack of competition from nvidia , my last video card i buyed was an ati 4850 and it seems as i will have to wait a little longer until ati or nvidia release a card wich has much better performance for about the same launch price as my 2 year old 4850 ... i still feel that a lot of people are holding off to upgrading to dx11 nvidia or ati because of the lack of price/performance from both sides ... the 5850/5870 are ok but the prices are not
I agree with neo_moco. I've been looking to upgrade my 4850 for a while now but the 5850 is too expensive, 5830 is too close in price to the 5850 but without the performance, 5770 isn't a worthwhile upgrade, 460 GTX is too expensive...
Where's the price/performance upgrade we're looking for!
ATI has the best product on the market atm, so it's only logical that they are now the largest (not that being the best matters in the tech world, look at Apple's succes).
