Good Good, this means we shall see an Nvidia card within 1-2 months after. Hurry AMD and release your Bait so the Bigger Fish can come along and Gobble you up.

^ Yes come NVidia and release another ''GTX 1970'' with 8GB labeled as 10..
P.S. I hope that they will still give better driver support for R9 200 series first...

Hopefully the new Radeon 300 series will be much more energy efficient than the 200 series is, I would like to see them at least as efficient as NVidia's GTX 900 series.

I just hope these R9 3XX cards are so badass it forces Nvidia to release the full GM200 first and at a competitive price not another cut down GPU at $1K. Last thing I want to hear from Nvidia is, "We expected more from AMD."

Nvidia...More powerful...more expensive.
AMD...Less powerful...cheaper to purchase.
Always been the same.
I think if AMD can get the price right and the cooling is good enough they could have a winner. I do think AMD shoulda gone 20nm for serious consideration tbh, who knows they may still do, i think theres a good chance.

It should leave 980 in the dust. With the latest fiasco and new badass card from AMD will leave nVidia shaking. This is looking to be another HD 5000 vs Fermi. π
Nice, nice i might get one.

R9-380x will have 10% higher real performance/Watt than GTX 970.
People will still b!tch, because they think GTX 970 is 160W card.
Price will be another thing, I expect initial performance/price ratio around GTX 980 and that will make many weep.
But if AMD manages to put even price in check, then I will laugh so hard.
There are people who got echo in advance:

In my country we don't get the price reductions from AMD so the R9 290x cost the same as GTX 980. With prices like this is very hard to consider AMD.
This is the price range of the cards in my country converted to USD
GTX 970: 550-590 USD
GTX 980: 880-990 USD
R9 280x: 400-440 USD
R9 290x: 840-990 USD
