AMD still has a long way to go to reach parity with Nvidia's share of graphics add-in board shipments, though. The green team still holds a dominant position in the market, even as its share fell from 81.1% to 70.9%. Since good ol' S3 barely even registers in JPR's radar, AMD's gains have moved its position from 18.8% to 29.1% of the total market.
As a whole, the graphics card industry has enjoyed a 9.2% year-on-year increase in shipments, confirming that gamers are responding to the release of graphics cards fabricated on next-gen process tech. JPR says as much, saying that "PC gaming momentum continues to build," and that market demand for gaming PCs is "robust." The firm also notes that the 38.2% sequential increase in quarterly graphics card shipments is well above the ten-year average of 14.3% for this time of year.
It's time for a third discrete GPU manufacture. Just another company that can put out products when AMD and Nvidia are resting.
Only incompetence can allow AMD to wait this long to ship a competing high end product.

In a way it does. In terms of cards sold for AMD, it does not matter, but, in terms of support for games, it does. The bigger the market share in gaming specifically, the more incentive developers have to optimize for AMD's hardware. If all the cards go to miners, developers will keep optimizing more for nVidia cards, which in turn means AMD cards perform worse, which in turn means AMD's reputation of making inferior cards is enforced, even though it's a complete software issue, which in turn means lower sales among gamers and more sales towards miners.

Developers will optimize so that an acceptable level of performance is realized from hardware regardless of vendor. Your average developer won't go all out to draw every ounce of performance unless it's absolutely required for their game. This is where AMD/NVIDIA support comes in and Nvidia has been better at it for a long time now, hence why they are ahead. AMD's support is improving but can always be better.
OnTopic:
(I'm bad at math bare that in mind with my next question lol) Is it safe to assume that AMD captured all the new growth and then some?
Hopefully that's a sign of things to come, I'm buying a Nvidia GPU soon but will swap out to a high end AMD GPU as soon as it's available.
Machine learning, mobile and VR are great markets to get into, along with an established workstation and gaming community.
With MS now bringing console games to PC, we will see people have consoles and PCs for gaming. That very attractive because discrete gaming should increase over time.
I just think that if one falters like AMD, the other can't boost prices because a third will fill the void.
Only in PCs we have two players, were many other tech sectors have 3+ competitors.

I get how much you love AMD and wants everybody to hear your version of facts but you already posted it before. It's from a different website but original source is JPR.
