AMD 290/X cards.... Catered for the 5-10 people that own UHD monitors! :thumbup:
On a serious note, no worries. The 290 isn't bringing something we haven't seen already, so I understand their "tweaking" delay for competitiveness.
1 week delay for a more productive/faster product its not that bad. But they lose sales as it is already so its not for the better for them.

Yeah, according to videocard z, the new driver will bring a significant performance increase.

Hopefully custom boards with better cooling solutions follow soon.

Nvidia can't even keep up with production of Titans to meet the demand for it. What world are you actually living in? How are sales being cannablized on a card they can't keep on the shelves? If anything it would eat into 780 sales. Lower tier GK110? What, like the current cards compared to prior gen Tesla GK110s?
Titans are currently one of, if not the best option for many aspects of video production/editing/content creation and utterly destroy the K5000, an inferior card that costs almost twice the price.
Last I checked 780ti specs had yet to be annoucned and I'd imagine it's just going to be a small clock boost over the 780SC maybe.
All this means is that AMD, desperate for a slice of marketshare, tried to launch an unfinished product (which was probably not going to live up to the performance they claimed once actual retail cards were in the wild en masse). Everyone and their non tech-savy mother knew Nvidia would drop pricing within a week tops of the AMD announcement -- something you think that at least one person at AMD would have anticipated.
INB4 the fanboy/new poster flames.

Let's see...
Poor nVidia fans trying to play AMD's strengths as weaknesses. I feel sorry for your logic, you're saying that AMD's new card is capable of doing incredible feats of graphics processing, better than nVidia can and for much less, but it's useless because nobody has a 4k monitor (because they are expensive?).
Yet you're willing to spend $1,000 dollars on an overpriced Titan card, nVidia just openly ripping you off and you act like you're ok with that. ITS AN ENTHUSIAST GAMING CARD! It's not designed for video production, quit trying to make up excuses for the nVidia TITANIC.

Ok is it just me or have we had a glut of fanboys since just before the 290x release just joining the site to blast off Nvidia is $hit or AMD is $hit and then disappear after a few posts? most dont even care to fill out proper specs or have completely imbalanced specs.
Corporate paid dogs.
