And Titan X will reign supreme during this period...



Imagine someone who want better than 980 but cant wait till June to get his hand on the new AMD toys...


Titan X is the only solution...

Well as of now T-X is the king and faces no competition for at least 3 months.

someone give this guy a 970 or 980 please. if not we will see a long steady stream of complaints against the two graphics card companies.

I dont understand why people feel they have the right to dictate these companies' business strategies and decisions. do these companies owe him a living?

I agree that 300 plus series should be released, like he said quite old Liao etc. Its justified on some grounds, but like you said, no one owes him a living and he has no right to decide.

But the most annoying part is that I cant quite figure out which camp is he in...

But amd 295x is very good for a single card solution? Albeit dual gpu.

I'm using two 970s. Decent price to performance although the 3.5vram issue is irritating. When the time comes I will sell and upgrade. Am actually thinking of trying 290xs haha.

His camp is very simply which ever company gives away their latest tech for an absurd price, or even free.

It was speculated that AMD initially wanted to launched only 1 new 390x and rebrand everything under it. However senior management corrected that stupid idea. So now, the engineers have to rush a whole series of cards in 3 months.

The challenge now is to have a new series of cards in 3 months time while not overlapping each other in performance and pricing.

If AMD don't screw this up, I sincerely think they deserve some praise and the wait would be very worthwhile. Personally, I would cut them some slack even though they started on a wrong path in the first place.

Keeping my fingers crossed until June.

I see it this way. If the Gpu companies can't come up with new products, or price them cheaply, no amount of whining and complaining will make a difference.

I used to be a avid green camper supporter, until recent price hike of their decent GPU want me want to jump ship, den I realised there is not much option cos the new card has been repeatedly delayed (supposed to be out by last year)


Yes definitely the 290X is a good card, nothing wrong with it, but I dislike the idea on how they like to force people to buy their old stuff by delaying the product (if that was their justification that they need to clear their stock). Imagine u buy it in a heat of a moment, and within a few month new GPUs get release and ur card no longer has its values.


Obvious choice will be wait. Den again just how long, sometime is not just because u have money to afford, you wack.


Anyway like I said, healthy competition is what benefit us consumer. If they price their GPUs correctly with good performance, good price and tons of variety, it is not me who wins, but everyone here on the forum who like HW tech.

No company will be in the right mind to come out new products and make obsolete the tonnes of unsold goods they have.
