I don't agree with this ideal on the market, but anyway I wish to put those troll battle aside to keep the mind on the tech subjects at hand. If he's really a troll, I'd recommand the classical approach to ignore him and let him tire down. 
This said, from what I read from @zMeul, while being irritating he still sometimes provides legit points to debate. Even if this is always against AMD. Zmeul if you are a troll you know the warning. If you aren't a troll, make yourself less irritating, because I feel you could contribute the community better that way. Or you might end up being reported all the time if you don't.

WHAT?!

and you wonder why I "sound" irritating 

last time I checked, being irritating wasn't against terms of use .. so, why exactly are you reporting me for?

[Thiback]

I'm not reporting you for anything and I won't ever because like you I don't think you go against the terms of use. AND I THINK YOU SOMETIMES PROVIDE VALUABLE IMPUT SO DONT BASH ME. I'm warning you that since a lot of people don't like you, people will probably end up rage reporting you, because you sound biased.

Just don't start bashing on me for stuff I warned you about. 

This is the last post I'll make regarding this conflict in which I tried to be a mediator.

My HD 7950 still kicking. I only just upgraded my i7-920 equiv Xeon, and that wasn't even for performance reasons - just for software/os/driver compatibility reasons (and to get USB 3.0, etc). It's almost annoying how well my 7950 has held up, because I haven't had a reason to upgrade yet

My 7950 is doing great at 1440p. I think it's one of the best investments I made. I can still OC it to 280X/7970 speeds if I really want to.  

I've got the 7950, Sapphire model. I've overclocked it to 7970 speeds. It plays well on 1080p/1440p.

Sometime ago, there was this:

 

So yea, many weren't too fond of zMuel constantly adding his toxic words to his threads to spur chaos. But that was already in the past. These days, even though you can tell that he isn't too fond of AMD. Its far away from what he does in the past. And that's a really big improvement. You don't really see much of "There goes zMuel again" anymore in his threads. 

[thexzenon]

This thread went off-topic really fast. 

 

Good job, AMD! A small improvement, but they're still far behind nVidia. Maybe things will shift in favor of AMD a lot more once games that take advantage of async computing are released on the market. That is, until nVidia actually makes decent cards for this and goes back up to 70-80%.

This isn't raw market share, this is based off of shipments, so market share of NEW units sold preceding quarter.

 

AMD has been and still is keeping raw market share from the vast amount of USED boards cycling around the market since the 290/ 290x farming due to mining. When the remnants of that bubble grinds down, (it has already died down in US but not in many parts of Europe) you'll start to see more NEW market share being gained.

 

Because let's face it, a used 290x for $150-$200 is a hell of a lot better deal than a 390 for $300, even if the 390 is king of value among NEW cards.

That's a good point.

 

I wonder if any of these agencies have calculated raw marketshare for AMD, including both new and used cards? I would like to see how much extra % AMD gains from that.

Nice. Good boost until they show their new hardware.
