Stock Market shows no love for NVIDIA GT200

NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX 280, which claimed the overall GPU performance leadership, as well as the GTX 260. Soon after AMD's graphics arm - ATI - announced its Radeon HD 4800 series, which aims to offer superior value for money in the mid-range.

Share prices at the end of last week would seem to imply that markets are keener on AMD's offering than NVIDIA's, with the former's shares rising by 3.2 percent and the latter's falling by an alarming 16 percent.
