NVIDIA Snags Away Market Share From AMD, now sells 80 percent of dedicated GPUs
The GPU market results for the second quarter of 2020 have been posted. The second quarter of 2020 saw a 2.5% increase in GPU shipments compared to Q1 2020. Q2 typically declines every year, but as seen in the results, NVIDIA and AMD moved a good number of units.
The most striking data:
- AMD's total unit shipments increased 8.4% quarter-over-quarter, Intel's total shipments decreased -2.7% from the prior quarter, and Nvidia's increased 17.8% .
- The overall rate from GPUs (includes integrated and dedicated GPUs, desktops, laptops, and workstations) to PCs for the quarter was 126% , up 2.3% from the prior quarter.
- The overall PC market increased by 0.68% quarter-over-quarter and 12.54% year-over-year.
- In the second quarter of 2020, there were no changes in the number of shipments since the last quarter.
Speaking of total GPU shipments, AMD shipments led the company to an 18% market share, NVIDIA shipments led to a 19% share, and finally Intel shipments (which fell), led it to a 2.7% share of the market.
NVIDIA gained a huge market share, climbing back to 80% from 75% in the previous quarter. For its part, AMD did not do so well in the dedicated GPU segment, as its share fell to 20% . AMD lost 9% of its graphics footprint since last year. These numbers could be attributed to the launch of NVIDIA's GeForce Super line , both for the desktop and mobile segments. Additionally, promotions for older GeForce Turing graphics cards appeared, which would have boosted the company's sales.
By the second half of 2020, NVIDIA is expected to retain or even further push its share as it is about to launch its Ampere GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards. For its part, AMD plans to launch its Big Navi “Radeon graphics cards. RX ”around the fourth quarter of 2020.

I cannot use GPU scaling with my setup two full months now. At least if it was gpu problem I would RMA. But I cannot RMA a perfect monitor. Drivers from AMD are problematic. I have shouted everywhere, amd support, reddit, email, monitor manufacturer etc.
If it doesn't get fixed with monitor firmwares and amd drivers, I will go nvidia together with my xbox series x purchase.
Are you playing old games? That is what gpu scaling is mainly for. So if they aren't old you aren't missing anything. Make sure you are using one of these connectors or gpu scaling won't enable. DVI, HDMI, Display Port, or a Mini Display Port cable. Also check your registry keys to make sure they are not corrupted/ broken. You can also try this old old work around to see if it helps at all. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1R5-HmNZnlHRlWs7WZrvmXUnAhk3xMkTl

AMD should start copying their Linux devs' homework, because they got RDNA working smoothly long before the Windows team did. Since the drivers are open source and owned by the same company, they literally could copy the work and get away with it.
Sad to hear and I really hope that AMD focuses on their drivers with the RDNA2 release. You're right about 2080Ti HW failures and I've had problems with my card as well (I'm on my third card, though for other RMA reasons) but at least I've not had driver problems.

He didn't say it was better to have a HW failure than a driver issue. He said he's glad he didn't have both, which makes sense, right?
And I disagree that it's blown out of proportion, it was only a year ago where the black screen issues were completely downplayed on this forum by the usual pro-AMD posters. They claimed blackscreening was caused by user error, cheap PSUs, overclocks, a marketing ploy by Nvidia to make AMD look bad, etc.. only to have AMD ship a driver with literally like 6 black screen fixes and a promises for additional black screen fixes in future drivers lol. I'm pretty sure the response is proportional to the issues people have.
The drivers issues by themselves weren't blown out proportion. But the great majority of them have been fixed for more than 6 month now, and people are still speaking of those as concurrent issue and like AMD didn't do a things about them, while 6 month after the 2080ti HW failure launch fiasco, almost nobody were talking about it anymore...
The problem isnt Nvidia get a free pass on issue and AMD don't, but is nobody except the usual AMD fan boy talk about those Nvidua issues for more than a few month while the community keep on hitting on AMD for years....
Edit : I know those difference are mainly due to vastly superior marketing from Nvidia and overall better brand image, but it hurt when pseudo enthusiast show as much knowledge of past and present issues than the average iPhone user.

That's not what's happening at all. It's 2020 and people are really savvy and do do research and look at forums etc. What you're seeing is a previously bad reputation (spanning a few decades ago) now reinforced by buggy RX series drivers.
So, in reality it's not that users cant figure out what's happening, they actually have and they don't want any part of it.
Enthusiasts like us will put up with it and wait for fixes, however, the everyday consumer will not tolerate it and will go Nvidia. That's just the way it is.
AMD having a bad drivers is always blown out proportion becouse some users cant figure what is happening. its not 2011 people.
