According to the latest GPU market share report, it appears that AMD has managed to gain some market share at the expense of Nvidia.


It appears that AMD's Polaris GPU architecture is doing quite good as, according to the latest report from Mercury Research, AMD managed to gain significant GPU market share in the last quarter.

According to the report, the discrete GPU market share for AMD has increased from 26.2 percent in December last year to 29.4 percent in March 2016 and up to 34.2 percent in June 2016.

Unfortunately, AMD still does not have a high-end GPU to compete with Nvidia's Pascal GPU architecture and we won't see any before next-year but it is still good to see that AMD has at least managed to do well in the mainstream and low-end market.

Nvidia is preparing its new GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti GP107-based graphics cards which should put some pressure on AMD's entry-level Polaris lineup and the upcoming GTX 1080 Ti, which should be based on a cut-down version of the GP102 Pascal GPU, should help Nvidia to keep its high-end graphics card crown, of course, unless Vega 10 GPU becomes a big surprise.

We should get a clearer picture regarding the high-end market sometime around CES 2017 show in January 2017.
