Anyone? :) Bump...
--> Specifically the non-upgradeable GPU side:
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 860M+ GPU 2GB GDDR5
"The chosen graphics processor found in the Alpha is based on the GTX 860M - which, at an architectural level at least, is identical to the desktop GTX 750 Ti we reviewed earlier this...
Doing a quick check on Amazon and ebay.... Nope. The "new" prices are about the same. The "used" prices are higher. No effect. With no real competition in regards to new hardware until Q2/3, I don't think they're going to do anything out of the ordinary.
Completely agree. The 980 should be at 970 prices. The 970 should be the $200-250 part and the 960, the $150-180.
Maybe Nvidia should have been more careful with their "4x performance" slides when first discussing Maxwell years ago.
I just wish we'd get something concrete sooner rather than later. Last I read it was "early 2015". I guess March would still be "early" by their definitions. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a 1H2015 release vs. 1Q2015. Frankly, a 3Q or 2H wouldn't be surprising at this point either...
I'm chiming in on my personal experiences. There's a number of reasons why I've tended to avoid AMD cards. In my younger years, I would stick with X for Y reasons and debate fervently about it. These days, things are better from both companies. I do like Nvidia things quite a bit, actually...
Right now, Amazon is selling an XFX Radeon R9 290 for $259 and it will come with free games. That said, you can get used ones from Amazon for less. Additionally, there's an offer on eBay for a Sapphire Tri-X for $219. 290s are an extreme deal right now - especially if you don't mind used...
I'm still sitting on my GeForce 660. I'd like to get one of the new cards, but they're really out of my price range for now. I'd love to see what AMD brings to the table, but I'm going to have to wait until next year for that.
There's been a temptation to pick up a new Radeon 280 for...

Does anyone have any thoughts on how will this appointment affect AMD?
Add to that, how do you think Rory Read's tenure went?
