A press release from NVIDIA today informs us of the huge success with their 6 series of GeForce graphics cards which has taken them from a 26% market share (back in the second quarter of this year) right up to a phenomenal 64% at the 3Q turn, this now taking them into full charge of the high-end graphics card market.

"Our objective in the quarter was to take back the high-end of the desktop PC market," stated Dan Vivoli, executive vice president of marketing at NVIDIA. "Through the GeForce 6's stunning performance and an unmatched DirectX 9 feature set, we have been able to not only win a majority of the benchmarks, but also 100% of the Shader Model 3.0 market. Now that we've solidified our position in the high-end, we are poised to continue driving the GeForce 6 Series deeper into the market. "
