Well, at least they'll get their price/performance balance right from now on.

That should be good enough.

"[Or miscalculation of competitive price position further pressured our desktop GPU business."

That's what resting on your laurels will get you. Did they think ATI would never come up with decent competition to the aging 8800 series that they kept milking?

Wow, a loss! Last time I heard, they reported record profits or so, so this is quite surprising. Yet another example that shows that, in the hardware market, a slight misstep - even the slightest one - can cause a fall that hurts.

Not that it is the most hurting fall.

I am glad they lost some money. It gives them a reason to try to make their products good again.

Wow. This is kind of crazy. Both major "discrete" GPU firms are in the red.

I had an Nforce 3 great board, but they screwed all of those users by not allowing Dual Core cpu's to work under vista. Which forced me to pick up a used Nforce 4 off Ebay. My next board will probably be an AMD or Intel one.

Nvidia also held a conference call to discuss these results, but I totally missed it

I don't think you missed much..
