The funny thing is that, even with this "huge" hit, which it isn't, they still are making more money than ATI.

ATI was doing so bad it got bought out by AMD, when you have to sell your company because you can't survive another year or two, that's when you know you're in bad shape.

fyi Nvidia only has 50% of the market in gaming computers, they only have so much more money because they charge so much more for the same thing. ATI has 48%, and Intel somehow got 1%. Although these statistics are from a report I saw over a year ago, I'm sure it's still pretty accurate.

Uronacid... ATI failed for nearly 10 years... otherwise they wouldn't have sold their company. Anyways, it sucks, it happens, hopefully they don't fail like ATI, and end up selling their company to another.

You two know nothing about business. You don't sell your company because it's doing bad. What about Google buying Youtube, or News corp. buying Myspace?

Can you please go to college and get a clue?


And what about Youtube and Myspace? It was barely making money off of ads, they were both non-profit... it was SMART for the owners of Youtube and Myspace to sell their property for millions. Now the servers are off their hands and they don't have to pay out of pocket, instead they collect a check for their inventions.


The reason why AMD bit the bullet and bought ATI was because they thought they could do better with ATI's chips... which was the biggest mistake for AMD. ATI is combined with cheap products yet has huge dreams of out performing everything in the technology world.. but that's all that it is.. a dream, a fail one at that.


But you know what, I'm gonna give you, and only you, a chance to enlighten me about business. Please, educate us. Otherwise, you're still a fraud in my book, with nothin better than what? A high school diploma, if that?



Edit: Hell AMD is more than likely going to sell ATI assets to Broadcam, why? Because ATI f*ckin sucks. Look it up... they lost over a billion dollars (in the second quarter) on their ATI chips. AMD made a horrible investment and don't want that on their hands anymore. But they must be flourishing, right? Since... only reason to sell your assets is when your company is making you profits lol...

I would argue with you if you had a more malleable opinion, but you're too narrow minded to understand when you've lost.

I'll let you pretend you've won, because arguing with you is like arguing with a wall.

Then do me a favor... stop replying to me like you have a clue about anything and especially questioning my intelligence. Wasting my damn time.

Lol, exactly.

Tama, you might have some sort of stigma towards ATI and AMD. I had that same feeling towards them a not more than two years ago, but you really need to get with the times. ATI and AMD have recently come out with high quality products that best many of NVidia's products in terms of bang for buck. R770 & R740 GPUs are just great and they have plenty of room to grow. NVidia has depended on producing larger dies for far too long, and now it's biting them in the ass. At least in terms of profits. The manufacturing process for larger dies is very expensive. They better come up with a method for producing a GPU with a smaller die very soon.
