Yeah, no idea why they launched when the card was not ready. Had they made sure card works properly (no whine), can overclock and have stock available then they would have capilised on all the hype and interest. As it is many people can't be asked to wait and just get 980ti.
As it is they have a card that whines and performance wise inferior to 980ti.
AMDoh!
If they do not get zen and 16nm gpu's right, they will likely be dead

Not dead, Microsoft may acquire them, which would be a good thing.
Then nvidia would probably die.
Leaked rumours ^^^
What, because Microsoft would favour AMD's tech?
They might do that to some extent but Nvidia will never die, Nvidia have such a strong fan base they will always sell GPU's in big numbers.

People thought the same about 3dfx, they went from virtually owning the market to being bought out in a few years.
Only good thing would be if ATI separated away from that disease of a company.
Wouldn't happen ^^^ all their stuff is too intertwined.
In those days we had 10 or more vendors all fighting it out, there are only 2 survivors from that, ATI and Nvidia.
3dfx spent far to much on R&D, they couldn't get their money back and went bust.
whatever happens AMD will never die, they will get taken over by one of these huge companies like MS or Samsung, then AMD will have the money they need to compete properly with Nvidia and Intel.
As far as i'm concerned, AMD getting taken over by one of these giants can't happen soon enough.

Intel will kill NVIDIA eventually, in the GPU space at least.
IGPU performance from Intel is growing at an exponential rate - add to that their extremely advanced process technology, in 5-6 years Intel's IGPU performance will be similar to high end GPU's IMO

This is exactly what people said about ATI when AMD was "one of these giants".
It's a shame, AMD has lost the GPU market and its CPU market. It seems to be a vicious circle: Make an inferior product, lose sales, have less money for R&D for the next round. Unfortunately I can't see AMD getting out of this very easily.
If they didn't they would be handing the entire x86 market to Intel as MS are the only ones with the bargaining position to keep the X86 / X86_64 cross licence agreement in place.

The gains in perf will plateau soon enough. I think everyone will be stuck on 10nm for a while. Intel's GPU performance comes from (at the very high end) exotic (read: expensive) on die VRAM and packing in more compute units. Both of these aren't the answer if you want to see cheap CPUs.
Not if the market NVidia is in keep shrinking and they keep failing to break into other GPU markets. Don't get me wrong I am not saying NVidia are going to die tomorrow. But to say they will never die is a bit of a gamble, they could go the way of 3DFX.
