AMD and NVIDIA AIB GPU Market Share from 2002 to 2016
An interesting slide has been compiled that shows the varying market share relative to sales for add in board graphics cards sales from both AMD and NVIDIA relative to generational releases.
I stumbled in to his chart at TPU who posted about it today, but this chart has been compiled by 3dcenter. Use the numbers with a bit of caution as the numbers differ a bit from the JPR results posted and updated regularly. Basically the chart starts in 2002 and depending on sales shows the market-share of the specific category in-between AMD and NVIDIA and specific product releases.
So the fun thing about the chart is that you can observe the effect of a specific graphics card release at a given point in time relative the demand. Very interesting to see are the peaks especially in Q2 2004 when AMD released the X800 (check review here) and ther massive gain in market share in Q4 2014 when Nvidia released the GeForce 900 series.

Even if they do Nvidia will still sell more. I know people that even if AMD performs 2x the performance will still buy Nvidia. I'm no fanboy and will buy what ever is better.
This looks bad for AMD but I'm not surprised. They lack in the performance and mid range areas. Nvidia offers better cards for those segments. AMD's share shrinks year by year. They need to release something that can truly compete with Nvidia's offering.

Interestingly, I think console sales seem to be where AMD went for the time being. I am sure the money comes back to us in technology as we(pc add in buyers) are the forefronting testbed of gpu ability.

and the price too AMD are more expensive in most demanding GPU (low and middle class)... for the same price what would you buy? a GTX1050Ti or a RX460? when AMD would solve this aberation then it might goes up again...
the AMD GPU are really cool and now that they solved issue with driver it is the only thing that keep the balloon on ground.

I find it interesting that each time AMD's market share was high, I had one of the series (or even two), like with the X800 and the 5000 generation.
In regards to what AMD would have to do to earn back market share, simply beat Nvidia. They've done it in the past, but as long as there's people like me that want to pay a bit more for premium performance, there's usually only one way to go if you want the fastest single GPU card. That's the ugly truth.
Even with the rumors of the 490 outperforming the 1080, if it's a dualGPU card, it's worthless, we all have seen how mGPU is on it's decline. I've made the wrong decision with the 980 SLI already once, why should I switch over to do it again just to go with AMD and still stick to their inferior dx11 driver because dx12 does not have mGPU support currently? The situation is quite easy to look at it, only Vega can actually help, but has to compete with Pascal refresh, and then again, if Nvidia outperforms them it's again a budget choice.
Can I imagine myself buying AMD again? Yes. Does it look like it will happen soon? Not at all. Just my point of view.
