The whole world run mostly iGPUs as they don't have the mean to fork $300US on a video card when this is about or more than what they make in a month or year... dGPU are vastly used in the western developped world and Steam is one of the major gaming plateform in service today.
Got a tip for us?

The whole world run mostly iGPUs as they don't have the mean to fork $300US on a video card when this is about or more than what they make in a month or year... dGPU are vastly used in the western developped world and Steam is one of the major gaming plateform in service today.
So why the most popular GPUs currently in Poland are discreet Nvidia and AMD GPUs?
Again, here is not the richest country. Single GPU investement consumes over 60% of monthly budget here, yet people somehow menageto buy them. Similar thing you can observe in Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Portugal, richest African countries, India, China. Actually the whole point of Polaris architecture was to be able to bring VR, and high end performance to much wider market. From which country Raja Koduri comes, eh? You think he is not aware of financial situation in his own country, or countries from that region? World does not end on USA.
And actually, you were right about me misunderstanding the point what Stacc has made. However, I adressed it with my post. If anyone bothers to understand it...
Poland is a part of the western world... So are the rest of Europe and Russia...
And please, post your numbers! Other have done so even if you don't agree with them.

Both........................
Do you really want me to post every single link to shops selling computer hardware, and their lists of most popular hardware?
Do you even get about what I am talking about?
Yes, Poland is considered as part of western World. At least that is how it is considered. In the reality the development of this country is still... difficult. 'Nuff said.
In other word you are disregarding Steam published numbers with bloody nothing! Quite honest on your part.
Are you really trying to compare modern day Poland vs a country like India or Pakistan where 80%+ of the population lives at the subsisatnce level? Really? Please don't go there for your sake.
I am not disregarding. They reflect what people buy in richest countries, and the users of steam. Only. It doesnt reflect the situation of whole world. Because Steam is used in the richest countries.
Its another time, when you completely miss the point of what I am writing.
The richest country are the one who are buying the VAST MAJORITY of those card silly bunny... Third world country don't even appear in the radar.
And no I'm and others here are getting your point, it's just that your point is nonsensical and stupid. And I specified your point not you. So to recap you have zilch, nada, niet data to counter the Steam published data when said Steam is the most used gaming service in THOSE COUNTRIES THAT ARE BUYING THE MOST DGPUS AND WHERE AMD MAKES IT'S MONEY!
Latest reports from Q2 from research agancies claim that AMD before Polaris rollout have dragged some marketshare from Nvidia. And you know what is the funniest there? It was time, when Nvidia have released GTX 1070, and 1080 to the market.
Lets wait for Q3 numbers. Will see how this time it has changed one way or another.
No, but it would be nice if you'd include one or two supporting links in most of your posts.
To simply state that "Apple's eGPU box will have a soldered GPU" without any support isn't even worth acknowledging.
And yet you've still forgot to post actual data.
Sorry, but your word doesn't mean much to me.
Could that possibly mean that he has no actual data? Could it mean that his "inside sources" are only inside his own head? Could it mean that when he occasionally boasts that "see - I was right" it's purely luck - throw enough **** and some will stick?
Exactamundo...
But I'm sure he'll come back with another few anonymous blog posts and a new attack vector...
Do you even think that everything I post is about information from my sources? Or maybe I was responding to another post, with what I think it means to have multiple combinations of ID's in macOS Sierra?
I thought everybody has read that AMD gained marketshare in Q2. It was almost everywhere in the internet. Oh right, it was about AMD, so nobody on this forum cared about this. Why don't you for once do your reaserch?
And last bit.
Even if koyoot doesn't come up with sources it doesn't make the Steam HW survey an accurate indicator of anything

Still no hard data, just speculation and silly juvenile picture...
[doublepost=1472900588][/doublepost]
It does. It shows that on the biggest gaming service that serves the biggest market of dgpu by far, nvidia is on top and the 1060 is way ahead of the 480.
But hey, i'm sure that you'll post some data sometime soon proving the reverse. Maybe some sale figure from East Timor or Liberia...
All it really shows is what's being used on steam to play games which is why its not really quoted much on gaming websites. I do think nVidia is more popular in general because AMD has brown every opportunity to turn them selves around in the last almost decade nVidia had the mind share.

C99301. 3 times higher value than RX 480.
C99398. 4 times higher value than RX 480.
Both GPUs have been registered in january/february with C993XX moniker.

It means that there are coming two GPUs, with higher price tag, and presumably performance levels than Polaris GPUs.
Polaris GPUs are those with C98XXX, C95XXX numbers.
