AMD launches $999 Radeon R9 295X2 promo
It's a pretty good price of you ask me. AMD offers a Radeon R9 295X2 promotion and is selling this dual-gpu card for $999,. That saves 33.3% off the card from its original 1,499 launch price.
TPU noted this promotion, I haven't heard AMD themselves about it though. Just checking New-egg and some EU price watch engines shows normal pricing though.
So it is unknown when and where this promotion will be available. The card will ship with its usual Radeon Rewards package, giving you access to free games.

if only single gpu flagship were like 200 bucks and the dual one 400 our gamming world would be perfect
just dreaming
( and that's is realy free )

That's a ridiculously good price for a card like this, especially considering we're still seeing 780ti's go for over the £500 mark regularly.
ocuk working on £599 per card. Thinking of selling my 780s for £250 each and then mildly upgrading for the extra vram as I'm running 4k.

I'm not saying the Titan makes a good workstation GPU, I'm just saying it is one without the Quadro label. Basically, it's the worst of both worlds - too expensive for a gaming GPU, no driver optimizations for workstations. I'm not favoring one brand over the other either - it is simply idiotic to buy a product just because you always supported the brand, just as it's equally as stupid to vote for a political party simply because you were raised to. Buy the product that suits your needs, not your status. Personally, I regularly use 3 computers at home and all of them use a different GPU brand.
There's a lot more to performance than FLOPS. When you look at the hardware stats of 780Ti and a 290x, the 290x is a superior board overall:
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-290X-vs-GeForce-GTX-780-Ti
But just because you get a higher clock speed, more memory, better memory bandwidth, more render processors, etc, it doesn't mean you perform better in all applications, even if the drivers weren't a problem. That's simply impossible, and expecting that is a poor reason to buy a GPU. That being said, I don't favor either company, but as long as people do favor one over the other, software will be optimized for that brand and therefore run faster.
You say you are not favoring 1 brand or the other, but you seem to have a lot of bad things to say about 1 of the 2 brands that you are impartial about. gpu boss aint the best to look for comparing gpu`s some of those comparisons are silly. Personally I dont care which gpu is faster than the other. I buy based on my needs.
