GPU superiority has waxed one way or the over the course of years.
Not really. Nvidia has dominated since AMD acquired ATI.
So companies that built gaming brands over those years have had at different times top end cards from both AMD and Nvidia.
They've released cards from both companies with their respective sub-brands, but almost all from a marketshare standpoint have been Nvidia.
Nvidia timed their GPP crap for exactly the time when they knew for a fact no one was going to toss their cards out of those brands.
Nvidia could have done it any time in the last decade- it would have been the same story for AMD. They did it when it became apparent that Intel was probably actually serious this time.
