I've never really seen any real bias. Kyle's just more blunt. You should have seen him tear into nVidia back in the Radeon 9800 pro vs GeForce 5800 ultra days.
I don't always agree with him, but don't get your knickers in a twist just because he calls a spade a spade.
The top performant cards are less fragmented, since they are from the latest gen. The bottom cards span 100s of different products. The $200 price point is a solid choice. But there are also first time PC gamers this card is targeting to bring more folks into PC gaming there is a whole untapped market out there. Console gaming has been growing steadily year after year, and PC gaming is showing healthy growth as well. A solid GPU will do well at $200.Is their focus on the $200 pricepoint a bit exaggerated?
Steam Hardware & Software Survey
Steam survey shows the 970 ($300) in the #1 spot, approximately 50% MORE than the GTX 960 ($200).
The 750 Ti and 960 combined slightly edge out the 970. There's also almost twice as many 980 Ti's as GTX 950's.
970 + 980 + 980 Ti = 7.07%
750 Ti + 950 + 960 = 6.61%
AMD's figures are harder to compare since it looks like drivers/vbios don't report GPU names accurately... still.
