SemiAccurate pleads with his message on NVIDIA sources: Accordingly, the graphics chip manufacturers, the models soon GTX285, GTX260 and GTX275 from the market. The latter graphic accelerator starting at the end of October will no longer be available. The GeForce GTX295 is drawing to a close look once current stocks have been sold. This information or End-Of-Life releases Nvidia said to have given his Vertragsfertiger out.

According SemiAccurate Nvidia has no chance with ATi in the market segment for high-end and mid-range graphics cards to compete. Although Nvidia will still have the necessary chip stocks, the cost of production-based maps that will be so high, however, that this is the face of strong competition from ATI does not pay.

Even the very recently introduced Fermi GPU (see "Fermi (GT300): Nvidia's DirectX 11-response to the Radeon HD 5870") is Nvidia's predicament in the opinion of SemiAccurate can not improve, at least in the short or medium term: completely new architecture is only on paper, chips must be well-built yet. Even if Nvidia cards can bring Fermi after a quick timetable on the market (see "Nvidia Fermi: Alleged planned three cards)" could be assumed by a significantly worse value for money than for ATI cards in the same performance.
