its that price turns out to be within 2K+, everybody who has GTX 960 or 970 will go for it. Damn its like those 7970 Days reversed. Nvidia GPUs costing less and beating AMD in their own game! Besides, speaking for myself, I currently have a 970 clocked at 1.46 Ghz on air which performes similar to an RX480 which I bought almost 2 years ago, and I bought it with 25K, thats about it, my money is spent...done. Why would I buy a similarly performing card with 27K or less again? It would only make sense If i leverage this performance untill it goes old enough, or shell out 25K again for a card that performs better!

DOOM with Vulkan patch gives around 30-40 FPS boost in RX480
Making it faster than 980
Can't wait for more games to come with DX12 or Vulkan
Also Vulkan has a negative effect on nVidia cards making them slower than OpenGL

DX 12 and vulkan performance is what makes me question the purchasing of a nvidia GPU..

AMD always bets big on future tech
Like during DX10 era it was the first to support DX11

And since you buy a graphics card for 2-3 years at least (unless you are change them every year),going with something that is future proof is the smart decision

This comment summarizes it perfectly

OMG if it's that much faster than rx480 then no way it's gonna sell for less than 30k :sick2_NF:

Let me bring completeness in your perspective.

AMD always bets big of Future Tech...AND FAILS HORRIBLY on that bet and also in making that tech successful when that future becomes present.

Like during DX10 era it started supporting DX11, very good, then every single GPU they made had been beatn in performance, price, price to performance, performance per watts when DX11 became mainstream

Like during DX11 era it started better off with Mantle, everybody boarded the hype train, hell even it got a few stations past, then the new gen of Nvidia cards came in and completely derailed it in raw Frames per second even in games like Battlefield 4 where AMD had placed their bet on.

Like during GDDR5 era it promised to bring HBM into the world first, everybody bought their tickets on hype train again, well...this time to get a GPU which is faster than GTX 980ti for less money, what they got is an occassionally slower, similarly priced, hotter and more power hungry card that is Fury X.

And since you buy a GPU for 2-3 years at least, since you dont change once you bought a GPU following the hype, for those 2-3 years you have to justify the company you bought the card from by blatantly supporting their poor market strategies, falling stock, and cratering market penetration and vent your frustration on driver supports and how Evil nvidia is because they have a 699 USD card.

So going with something which performs worse over the year with every new driver realease from their opponent camp is purely a smart decision.
