I am not surprised at all,Team Green has been calling the shot's for some time now and I do not see that changing anytime soon! My last Amd gpu was a Radeon 6970 I have not looked back since then, the only card I was considering at the time was a R9 290X, and I still like the 295x2- Beast of a card! I do wonder howcome both Nvidia does not make dual-gpu video card's anymore?
Looking at old Gpu benchmark's is not as fun as before,It was like porn to me. Haha

Pascal release was very successful for Nvidia. Great performance of GTX1070 / GTX1080 finally justified people buying 1440@144hz panels. And while all this happening AMD has literally nothing to offer.
AMD stood still while people were throwing money at Nvidia.
Very presumptuous of you. We enthusiasts are a relatively small crowd. I highly doubt that Nvidia's growth came from the 1070 and 1080 - the 1070, though fairly priced, is still expensive, and the 1080 is really a niche market. There are more likely causes for Nvidia's success, such as the 1050Ti, 1060, mobile platforms, maybe Nintendo Switch, but most of all, servers (which likely make up more of their revenue than all their other sales combined). Also, AMD wasn't standing still, they were (and still are) in the process of getting the 490 released. Pascal was released at a pretty inconvenient time for them.
Regardless, I'd say Nvidia did earn their success. Pascal is the best thing they released since their Tesla architecture, and they're a very solid competitor in ARM.

I'm glad for that actually. I don't like a lot of their practices, but NVIDIA has been a small company showing that with the proper talent you can do miracles.
