NVidia, AMD Subpoenaed In Antitrust Investigation

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 1, 2006 @08:23AM from the business-of-making-shinies dept.

mustardayonnaise writes "CNN Money is reporting that graphics chipmakers Nvidia and AMD (who recently acquired NVidia rival ATI) said Friday that they received subpoenas from the US Department of Justice as part of a probe into potential antitrust violations involving graphics processing units and cards. Each company controls about 25% of the entire graphics chip market. According to the article, Intel, who makes their own fair share of graphics chipsets, has yet to be included in the investigation."

I am an antitrust attorney in California investigating this case against Nvidia and AMD. If you purchased graphics processing units from either of these companies, then you may have a claim. I am interested in learning your experience with the pricing of these GPUs and finding out if consumers are entitled to a refund. Email me at jhartley@rdblaw.com Jason
