then my message about higher-end motherboards not performing any better came through loud and clear with most of you not valuing the extra features on the higher-end models video cards were the most popular computer component purchases among our viewers with NVIDIA holding 87% of the market share by units and a staggering 95.1% by Revenue though it would here that our viewers at least the ones who shop at Amazon using our code skew heavily toward the high end the GTX 1070 and 1080 combined for over half of all video card sales on our report I mean these are 450 and $700 cards then on the
