Well it's official now, rip AMD. I guess May 27th is gonna be rip my wallet with pc upgrades lol.

It hasn't been released yet, so we can't reaaallly know performance for ourselves, and both AMD + Nvidia have exaggerated performance claims in the past.

Plus, AMD is going to be releasing Polaris soon. Just because Nvidia announced early doesn't mean "rip AMD". Let's all wait and see where all the pieces fall first.

Yeah and next week will be the 1080TI lol... keep getting new ones and more come out!

capitalism is great isn't it... 

 

we don't argue about too little Graphics processing units, like they do in those pleb socialist countries, we talk about how technology is rising too fast...

Just to throw this out there:

Looks like it's not getting that much more performance than the Fury X, which is the "previous generation" AMD card.. I'm starting to get suspicious about Nvidia's claims, they certainly seemed carefully tailored. Let's see where this all goes before we throw money at Nvidia or AMD.

"Faster then a two 980's in SLI and faster then a Titan X." lol

There have been no gaming benchmarks yet. Think about it. Why would nvidia make their top of the line flagship card obsolete. Im going to assume we see gaming performance in the area of a 980ti, Hopefully with less power draw and heat. When playing GPU intensive games my titan sits at around 80 degrees. I wont be selling my titan for another 2-3 years probably. I mean, i hope 12 gigs of VRAM is enough

whos gonna buy such expensive stuff? 

AMD said they have some killer GPU in the works that will support full VR with high FPS. 

 GTX 1070 is coming on June 10 for $379 gonna grab that one

1070 is supposedly better than the maxwell titan x. I'm going to be doing a new pc build hopefully as 5k hours of arma has killed my poor little amd and I'll pick up a 1070.

Glad you brought this to my attention I've been an amd/ati user for almost my entire life but lately I have been so unimpressed with the lack of competition. I was looking at building a new liquid cooled Intel/Nvidia setup. But I'm glad to know that a new generation of product line is coming out soon ... So I guess I wait just a bit longer.

 

 

my current system is amd phenom 2 x6 2.7ghz, 16gb ddr3 and amd 6970, 1tb 7200 hard disc, air cooled. I'm due for an upgrade
