Nvidia is Forbes' Company of the Year!

Forbes is teh biased! They are all wearing money hats given to them by Nvidia! ATI's current products are soo much better than Nvidia's because...um..because they are made by ATI! Yeah!

Or... there may be other reasons why Forbes has bestowed this award upon Nvidia: 

"The Santa Clara, Calif. firm has 62% of the market for desktop PC graphics cards, up from 57% a year ago, according to Mercury Research. Its archrival ATI stumbled badly last year in the two-company horse race for technical superiority and was bought by chipmaker AMD for $5.4 billion. In a PC industry racked by deflation, Nvidia has managed to increase its gross margin from 29% in 2004 to a current 46%. In the fiscal year ending in a few weeks Nvidia will gross $4 billion, up 33%, and net $900 million, up 50%. Since (Jen-Hsun) Huang took the company public in 1999, Nvidia's shares have risen 21-fold, edging out even the mighty Apple over the same time period. Such accomplishments, over the last 12 months and the past five years, earn Nvidia the title of FORBES' Company of the Year."

nVidia had a 600$ product out, which sold horribly well due to the lack of competition. They were simply lucky, but they did make a huge amount of money.

Lucky??
Listen im no fan off Nvidia, I like ATI just as much but I have no clue what the hell there doing over there at ATI HQ.

I mean i have never started up a game where i heard something like "powerd by ATI" and far to many times where i heard "Nvidia".

What is ATI doing, there comming with medium-end cards have bad driver support and do not make and do NOT make ANY appointments for future games.

Same goes btw for AMD which launches a so cald "true quad-core" CPU wich have errors and do not beat there Intell counterparts.

Is it me or did Nvidia not release any drivers for six whole months a few years ago?

ATI have always had new drivers on the doorstep every month. Yes okay they are going through a ruff patch now but you can pin the blame on AMD. NOT ATI.

Oh and you will find that on quite a few game cases (I know you download so you wouldn't know) the ATI logo and not the Nvidia logo.

NVidia has had a better GPU architecture this generation , that's why
they have so many supporters , plus they are a much bigger company =
much more advertisement .

P.S. This thread or whatever looks like it's bashing nVidia , ATi AND FORBES . I could be mistaken though .
