That is amazing, that enough Nvidia Geforce GPU's alone were shipped to give one to almost 1/7th of the world.

darthv725597d ago

I still have my geforce 256 video card. It is in a pc I use for old school gaming. It has a pair of 3dfx voodoo2's sitting right next to it.

Wow, it seems so long ago.

DontShoot-Me-Bro5597d ago

Shipped NOT SOLD!!!!

/s

lol just kidding

BrianG5597d ago

lol, I got your joke, apparently someone didn't.

branchedout5597d ago

Hahaha. I was waiting on this. Nice joke.

Though, I think we can view it a little differently, as I'm pretty sure I can't walk into Wal-Mart and pick up a GTX 460.

Congratulations Although Im Set On AMD, They Have Cheaper Prices With Equal Or Better Performance

1Billion gpu's no wonder thay say PC is dying!! PS3 sold like 35Million!!

xXxSeTTriPxXx5597d ago

how can you compare nivida sells (1995-2011) to ps3 sells (2006-2011)?...your a moron.

with that said this is a incredible milestone.fucking incredible *no sarcasm*.thats alot of happy (and sometimes unhappy) costumers.1 BILLION sold, those are McDonald's # lol.

ct035597d ago (Edited 5597d ago )

There is a reason why this comparison is flawed (GPUs aren't just for games), but the one you have given is ridiculous.

One billion units in 16 years = 62.5 million per year
35 million units in 5 years = 7 million per year

P.S.: The irony in "your [sic] a moron" is hilarious.

Pandamobile5597d ago

For anyone who is unsure; that is a lot of GPUs.

BubbleSniper5597d ago (Edited 5597d ago )

agree but low blow. LOL!

gpu can cost more than ps3 when brand new HOWEVER GPU pricing

competitive and mean more likely to find one for cheapER

also! once put time into throw together nice rig you can just

keep back up GPU like ME! and sell ur main and contribute sale cash for the next best

thing.

Kazu0 Hirai5597d ago

That is a lot of people who wasted money on an over-priced gpu.

Kazu0 Hirai5597d ago

I would agree with you. My amazing supercomputer ps3 console powered by THE CELL is an over-priced POS. But that might have something to do with the nvidia gpu in it....

ZING!!!!!!

ct035597d ago

I'll admit it: My GPU doesn't do everything. But it runs Photoshop. And games in 1080p60.

WhiteNoise5597d ago

@Kazu0 Hirai

My launch day gtx480 was cheaper than a launch PS3...

I play all my games at 60 frames with 32CSAA at 1080p.

I think it was a god damn bargain.

ATiElite5596d ago (Edited 5596d ago )

Yeh some times nvidia cards were way overpriced but when ATi wasn't on the same level it was justified. Now forget about it AMD cards are just as good if not better.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio11d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
