PC Gaming is Dieing FACT!!!

PC gaming is dieing guys, AMD just shipped 2 million DirectX 11 GPU in the last three months. Yup PC gaming is officially dead.

AMD released their new DirectX 11 GPU in October last year and in three months they managed to ship 2 million graphics cards. Not bad considoring PC gaming is dead and that they had MASSIVE production problems which meant for the first month or two there were hardly any available to sell to customers.

pc can do gaming?!

/sarcasm

I believe the other console sold more than this, but you have to take into account that high end graphic cards are not only purchased by gamers, or for gaming rigs.

PC gaming isn't going anywhere, but it's a misnomer to quote video card shipments as an indicator of the popularity of PC gaming. ALL PCs have a video card of some sort, whether it's ATI, Nvidia, on-board, or what have you. And obviously not everyone who buys a PC, builds a PC, or buys a new video card is a serious gamer.savebattery

PC gaming is dead but many people have PC as hobby and like compete with other people to get highest score in 3D-mark/Crysis and other benchmark programs.

lol, why do ppl keep saying this? It seems like there's a thread like this at least once a week here.Doolz2024

hint: jealousy.

I think PC gaming is doing ok. Its just not as prevelant as it use to be with the "hardcore" gamers. Consoles have always been the real money makers. Well except when gaming crashed in the 80s.

In the long run...gaming will all come together. One console will eventually play all games. It will have access to full m/k support along with gamepad support FULLY..

This is just my feelings. Will it be in 10 years? I dont know, might be in 20? BUT it will happen eventually.

PC Gaming is Dieing OPINION!!!

Fixin'

Only two million? PC gaming is a lot less popular than I thought. :(Nerkcon

there are few other things highend gefore and radeon cards are bought for. you buy a much cooler and quieter 4650 for hd videos, you use onboard for your office pc and you buy the firegl/quadro cards for highend workstations. radeon 4770+ and geforce gts250+ are pretty much bought for gaming of some sort. Might be in a family pc but there will still be the kids that game on it sometimes. no professional workstation has a gefore or radeon card.

imprezawrx500

You are probably right I totally over looked workstation cards, but I have always heard that simply hacking Graphic cards is more cost effective then purchasing workstation, but I wouldn't know due to the fact that I don't work with workstation cards. Their is also some multimedia programs that are already trying to take advantage of directX 11, and I dont think current workstation cards support directX 11.

To be fair he did specify DX11 cards. That means the 5xxx series which you don't install to browse the internet and watch movies. You buy these cards to game.

Refer to http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3711

"That of course doesn't tell the full story, and in speaking with ATI we were informed that 70% of sales have been 4300/4500 parts - the lowest performing, least expensive offerings. 15% of sales are from the 4600 series, which is where reasonable gaming can finally enter the picture. As for the 4800 series, it's still sitting at less than 5% (with the remainder of ATI's sales apparently coming from older 3000 series parts). As far as high-end laptop graphics is concerned, NVIDIA has had a clear lead for a while, for a couple of reasons."

http://www.techspot.com/news/35607-amd-intel-gain-gpu-market-share-in-q2-2009.html

Raw numbers Q1 2009(74.8M) and Q2 2009(98.3M).

Let's do some estimates. AMD has 18.4 percent of PC GPU sales i.e. 31.8504 million for Q1 and Q2. If we apply 15 percent for Radeon HD 4600 series we get 4.77 million for Q1 and Q2 2009. We can estimated that Radeon HD 4600 series annual sales to be around 10 million i.e. Q4 sales are ussually higher.

In 3 years, ATI Radeon HD 4600(RV730) series alone can reach about 30 million i.e. uptake is faster than PS3. Like Radeon HD 2900/3800 series, ATI Radeon HD 4600 series includes 320 SPs and RV730 an entry level "Fat" GpGPU.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4600 series was renamed as ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5165. In another words, RV730 is not end of life (EOL).

Other numbers to consider, Refer tohttp://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-takes-market-share-2009aug18.aspx

By the end of Q2 2009,AMD overall takes 53% mobile discrete market share. My estimates for RV730 2009 sales would be higher.

We're not even factoring NVIDIA's counterpart to ATI Radeon HD 4600 (RV730) series. NVIDIA's side can cover PS3. ATI RV730 side can easily cover Xbox 360.

In the future, please keep things in proportion.10 percent of minority in PC world kills Xbox360/PS3 in yearly unit sales.

Please note ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 has 8 ROPs (like ATI Xenos and NVIDIA RSX)and It's 3DMark06 scores similar to NVIDIA Geforce 9500M GS(G84M)/Geforce 8600M GT(G84M). ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 was renamedas Radeon HD 5145. Again, not end of life.

You need atleast NVIDIA Geforce 9500M GS to match Xbox 360 and PS3 in running Unreal Engine 3 type games.

It is almost impossible for PC gaming to die, because if it ever happens then consoles will simply follow.abuabed

PC hardware is not only for gaming yoHermitGTX

PC 3D game engines (e.g. Unreal Engine 3, CryEngine2) are also used for real time architectural (e.g. buildings), real time CE products designs visualisation, real time interior design, education and training.PC world plays games with real life money.

Autodesk 3DS Max/AutoCAD or Maya objects can be loaded into mainline PC game 3D engines.
