Oh come on. Even intel's IGP qualifies as competent All these people are doing something which is entirely mind boggingly hard and deserve a lot of respect.
Competent being used to describe nvidia? they are very good at parting fools with their money, but everything else on the gaming scene has been "meh" at best.
Did you see what happened to Nvidia sales after 970 fiasco? Not much. Did you see what happened to their sales when they suddenly said Titan was supposedly for singe precision flops, not double precision? Nothing. What happened when Nvidia came out with proprietary solution to what was an industry standard in making wrt display refresh? Nothing much really.So many pessimist here about price and performance.Do you remember last die shrinks or you remember only last 3 years of PC industry?(all on 28Nm)
If you remember last 15Years none can say such nonsense.I remember last 20yars of PC industry.
Remember when 28nm was new it also cost alot more than 40nm there was also inflation.
Yet GTX670 beat GTX580 flagship by 20% and cost 400USD MSRP.That 100less than 500USD GTX580 last flagship.And it was on brad new super expensive node and with inflation...
If you want some historic lesson about GPU pricing and performance read this.

Do you even consumer bro? If you reward certain business practices, what you will get next is more of the same. You set a pattern by paying as much for a x04 chip and now they're continuing with it given they know you will pay for it.Of-course they were able to successfully sell 680 when it was cheaper and faster than the competing product 7970.
This is a legit post. I buy Nvidia because I like Nvidia, however, I have no issue ripping them apart because of their either shady or incompetent actions as of late regarding product longevity. Its like if you catch your best friend checking out your girlfriend's behind. Yeah its expected to happen once or twice, but if he does that crap too many times then its time to reevaluate your friendship. Either that or just stick to using crappy products or dating ugly girls...However for me, I prefer Nvidia for now.

I don't like nvidia's business practices, but there is no doubt that their engineers did a great job with the 980ti and Maxwell in general.
I never realized how emotionally invested people are in a brand of hardware until this post.That is precisely correct. The thought of putting AMD hardware in my rig makes my stomach want to jump out of my throat and run down the street.
don't worry. consoles would be holding back graphics for all of us. there is no need for an upgrade at all if you game in 1080p. unless you do vsr, but then you have money problems. priorities bro.I`m just going to cry in a corner for now after reading all this :| Wouldn`t get enough money for it anyways :|

Nope, Intel iGPU is still incompetent... they can't defeat by a wide margin against the CraPUS without the help of the edRAM, that once HBM enters integrated, is an automatic Game Over for them again..Oh come on. Even intel's IGP qualifies as competent All these people are doing something which is entirely mind boggingly hard and deserve a lot of respect.

that is a pretty high level.
I simply can't understand it. I don't even get that with real humans let alone a piece of computer parts.

Not really. They still have product they need to sell to their AIB channel partners who, in turn, want to be able to sell boards to end customers. Tell people too much about how great your upcoming product is & people -- especially gaming PC buyers who tend to be more informed than the avg. Joe -- will want to wait.
ahahah it's like an addict who is getting a taste of the good stuff. ahaha.Its better than you think. When I get a new pair of GPU's, the first thing I do (other than shed tears of joy) is to smell the product and bask in all of its glory with all 6 of my senses. The 6th sense is my special ability to sense awesomeness. AMD doesn't stimulate that sense. That's why I only bought 1 AMD card in my life.
Not this nonsense again. The Osborne Effect is a myth.

It matters to the small tech enthusiast minority only.
For the masses, probably because they don't really keep up to date or be informed, so any new tech announcement isn't going to slow down sales of current stuff.
