Edit: Some more stuff...palit and other big name manafacturers are cutting Nvidia GPU Orders....

I wonder if this is mainly due to the 4800 series and ATI gaining marketshare?
Or perhaps due to the poor economic times we are in....
Or perhaps because they decided to get out of the chipset business and let intel take over
sli boards....

Quote from this article:
"Meanwhile, Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co. said in its own research note that while
the revision was not surprising, "the magnitude of the sequential revenue decline is far
worse than expected ... Given this steep drop in revenues, we forecast nVidia to be
unprofitable in the fourth quarter and the full year 2009."
This is certainly the Big Bang Nvidia wanted to avoid. Best to sell your shares now I guess.
