But then there's the chance Nvidia can whip up some driver magic like they usually do.Unless the DX12 API makes that notion null and void but I doubt it.It's the usual trend with new APIs and Tech, AMD would come blazing through the gates, everyone focusing on them and how late Nvidia is.When Nvidia's ready, AMD gets sidelined due to unrivaled driver optimization and power consumption.
I really hope I'm wrong for AMD's sake because they're not looking good as a company right now.Wouldn't wish their employees out of work, not in this economy.
Same thing happened in 2010 with fermi launch.
GTX 480 was faster but was 6 months newer as well.
I remember seeing so many fanboys saying AMD is slow haha cant beat the gtx 480 blah blah.
Im just glad to see AMD and Nvidia close in performance.
We cant ever goo back too 2007 again. That time sucked for Radeon.
While I had an 8800gts 512, when the HD 4870 launched, I was very happy to see it.
I just hope it doesnt take months to get a proper Xfire profile.
Since its very close to FC4.

That's a trend I'm hoping AMD can nail down and be on par with Nvidia for once.As for power consumption, I consider it a non-issue as frame limiting is an easy cure.But like you said, it really is a good feeling to see Radeons back up there and have the two slug it out.

Fully agreed on power consumption.
I limit BF4 to 80 fps. Keeps my cards under 70c load.
Im not worried about power comsumption.
If I was Id have 2 gtx 960 or R9 285s.
I have no preference over nvidia or amd except for business models.
I prefer AMD there. Hardware wise, its about the same for both.
I do love seeing that 280x is 9 frames from the 780ti. Thats impressive.
This game does look like its runs well though for both sides.
I wanna try it on all 3 of my rigs.
290x xfire in one,
R9 280 in 2nd and
GTX 670 4gb in the 3rd.

Doom alpha, Division beta, Hitman beta this also can be seen. 290X/390X outperforming GTX980 while 290 outperforming GTX970. Look at the 780ti, its left behind so much and no one cares about it.
To be honest all those trends i mention above started to happen regularly.
