The State of 3D: ATI and NVIDIA, 1H 2005

No_Style · Mar 30, 2005, 11:28 PM

Mindshare has always been an important factor in the computer industry, and the massive swing from year to year between all of the different competitors just shows how volatile this marketplace is. For the past several years ATI has had a lock on mindshare when it comes to high performance 3D graphics. ATI’s first real dominant product was the Radeon 9700 Pro, and the follow up products such as the 9800 and the very popular 9600 have helped to cement this reputation. Things appear to be swinging back the other way, but the big question is if both of the big competitors will achieve parity with each other, or will one or the other again regain dominance in both marketshare and mindshare.

I was talking to you since you're always "watching".

Just so you aren't talking to yourself... I'll second the notion that it's a good read.
