You severely over-estimate the cost that Nvidia will incur from one class-action lawsuit. Not only will it be much less than you think, but it won't be happening any time soon. Those lawsuits take a long time to go through, and they almost always get settled out of court. Not to mention you under-estimate how much even a 1% market increase is. Nvidia will undoubtedly make MORE money as a result of this increase than they'll lose to the lawsuit. There is no doubt in this whatsoever.
[URL="https://psnsoesettlement.com/english/mainpage/Home.aspx"]If you are skeptical, just recall the PSN fiasco a couple years back. Took several years and the settlement was just one digital game from a limited list and a PSN subscription for 3 months.[/URL]
Not surprising really. AMD hasn't been fully in the game for quite some time now.

Agreed. All they've really been doing is rehashing their GPUs with overclocks and lower prices for the past... 3 years? Meanwhile, Nvidia pushed out its first Maxwell last year.
That's not to say it isn't competitive with their lower prices and smaller architecture updates (GCN 1.1, 1.2). I have a 270X myself and I love it. I got it used for ~$140 and it can play the latest games on High+. AMD has been much more stagnant than Nvidia as of late, though.
It's worth mentioning that AMD should be announcing 20nm GPUs this year, and Nvidia has 16nm GPUs on the horizon.
Expected because AMD hasn't released anything new last quarter. Plus it was bound to drop after the Bitcoin mining rage died down and the second-hand market is being flooded with R9 290s.

Also the retail market. They started massively overproducing them right before the market crashed, so there's shitton of new ones out there that they're trying to move. I wanna see a free R9 290 bundled with a purchase of a new R9 390x.
