According to the latest report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR), Nvidia is dominating the Q3 2014 graphics add-in-board shipments share with 76 percent, while AMD holds just 24 percent.

While this does not come as a big surprise, we were hoping that the difference is a bit lower as with such huge 76 percent AIB GPU market share in Q3 2014, and with AMD at just 24 percent, does not leave much room for competition, which is always bad for the consumer. Matrox and S3, which previously held that small amount of market share are now gone and it is all about Nvidia and AMD.




Nvidia scored well with its latest Geforce 900 series, and it is no wonder that its Q3 2014 results are quite impressive and that it holds a rather impressive 76 percent of the GPU market share. The Q4 2014 results should be even better while Q1 2015 might be a bit worse considering that customers confidence in Nvidia took a rather hard hit from recent memory allocation issues and false advertising with the Geforce GTX 970 graphics card, and the lack of explanation and action from Nvidia.

According to the same report, AIB GPU shipments have decreased by 0.68 percent compared to the last quarter and were at 12.4 million units. AMD total desktop AIB unit quarterly shipments have decreased by 16 percent while Nvidia managed to increase its own by 5.5 percent.
