on topic: im not a nvidia or amd fanboy so i do not have any preference as of now. what i do have a preference for is per watt efficiency, and nvidia wins that for now, which leads to GTX960.

now, dx12 is only just picking up the pace, so it will be a year or so before fully fledged dx12 games come out. hence i will stick to nvidia now.

however, nvidia WILL inevitably build up something for the dx12 architecture. in case it does not, then back to the red club it is for me.

yea, performance per watt efficiency is good. :)

But from a price perspective, it only saves me 3 Masala Dosas a month when I game for 10 hours each day.

Nvidia fanboy here and banned by ^this dude for saying "AMD sucks".

Me interviewing Nvidia representative who works in the Architecture department:

1) Are you working on Pascal now?
A) Pascal is done, we're working on Volta now.
2) AMD beat Nvidia in DX12 benchmarks, your comments?
A) DX12 is still early for benchmarking but there was a recent benchmark contest where AMD went from 20(DX 11) to 41(DX 12) FPS and Nvidia went from 45(DX 11) to 43(DX 12) FPS. So, we're still technically faster. Driver updates will increase performance for Nvidia cards.
3) So, you guys will still beat AMD?
A) Yes, I have to be confident in that.

Seconded and I will Quote "Denial" from Guru3D

Just going to increase latency like the AMD one, perhaps even worse since it's partially software based. I doubt this will yield any real benefits. Then again it's not like it matters. AoS is essentially the same thing as the 3D Mark draw call test, the Fury X and the 980Ti tie in performance. Why people care about this stuff so much is beyond me. The console guys see 30% increases because those systems are already CPU starved. Go look at low processor benchmarks of AoS with fast GPUs, pcper has a good example, the worse the processor the more the difference that dx12 makes.

But in the mean time you have people posting stupid bull****, including technical review sites, like the ars technia article that compares the 290x to the 980ti and circle jerks over the fact that a $300 card performs the same as a $650 one in AoS benchmark. What they fail to mention is that it also performs the same as the Fury X. But that doesn't fit the current narrative so they don't mention it.

Similarly Nvidia is also ****ing stupid for not just getting an engineer to explain it at all. Have Tom Peterson sit down and just have some slides so people can understand what goes on with this stuff. AMD should also probably put a leash on some of their employees. The technical advertising guy that made all those posts on reddit is looking pretty stupid right now.

lol yes. Why do people believe that AMD won't play tricks? After all the majority thinks that FX 8350 is a 8 core processor :lol:

they are not?? I thought they only shared resources....
No its Clustered Multi-threading not anywhere near double the cores. That is why Intel's i5 beats FX in almost every game. Read this:

actually you got banned for being an idiot. All fanboys are.

AMD is going bankrupt in 2 years anyway, may be then you can have your little laughs. ;)

Aquanox Dev :
We aim to develop a game that is enjoyable to everyone who wishes to join the world of Aqua. Implementing and/or focusing on technologies that would limit certain people from accessing the game is entirely against our philosophy of being a community focused developer. If at any point, there will be an implementation possible that will not limit NVIDIA card users, then we will certainly explore this option as well.
