Sure some buy Nvidia, but the numbers show that a lot of them are switching teams. A lot of the easily swayed people who make those kind of snap decisions that Nvidia are banking on have already moved on to consoles, they don't have to make that decision any more, and the market is reflecting that.

Those ppl change the gpu at least once a year.
[I'd say +/-$100/month is a reasonable number too keep your system more or less up to date(high mid-end)]
Sure they research the GPU, however it comes down to which cards performs beat at their favorite games.
So, if card A outperforms card B in 2 out of 3 (of my favorite)games I'll go for card A.
Even if B is better on energy, $100 cheaper, or performs way better in other games - which I don't play...
