If one wants/needs 980 performance from day one, they have to pay 980 price from day one, if they want Titan X performance they pay Titan X money from day one. That is not the same price as a 290 or a 970 so won’t be an option for many, therefore I do not see the relavance to what is being discussed. From a price point and choice perspective we are doing an apple to apple comparison here, you are doing apples to oranges
He knows exactly what he was doing....
Before you embarrass yourself any more that's a great shout, considering you are the ONLY person EVER in all my years in the PC scene that's complained in the way you have over huge driver performance gains.
The amount you tried so hard to obfuscate the achievement with absurd claims to substantiate your reasons that the £300 gpu should have had £450 performance in direct competition with the £300 Nv equivalent at launch simply highlighted the stupidity of your claims.
As
@TNA rightly put it apples to oranges doesn't and will never stand up as fact when trying to prove a point, which you never even had from the off, it was that absurd.
And by the way, your example of proof that the forum is AMD bias from yeeeaarrss ago when AMD Matt was posting as LtMatt, is almost absurd as your '290 should be performing as the 980 from launch' claim.
Well yes it was bias then because the current AMD user base was massive back then as they sold bucket loads of 7 series gpu's because they absolutely dominated performance on bbfb then, but that was 5 years ago or so, and the AMD user base has dropped of a cliff due to AMD being absolute rotten in the high end space and mining.
So no, using 'these forums are AMD bias' as your excuse to consistently rile up 'but AMD done this and that', considering the pro Nv users run riot as much as pro Red team users can, you never ever bring the pro Nv talk to task, so might as well just stop hiding behind excuses and just say your bit.
Oh and ps. Nv does have a rep in here but by the look of things, he's not very helpful as no one is aware we have one, maybe that's because he does sweet fanny adam in the way of helping Nv users in comparison to the stellar work
@AMDMatt does in this forum despite the stick he's received from you and others while helping out in his role of helping AMD users in this forum, if only NvidiaDan maybe done a fraction of the help matt does, we'd all know he actually was of any use in here.
@bru has went up in my estimations, first there was adored's voice thing that he explained but has came on and held his hands up but really not expecting that anytime soon from you tbh.
On a final note so glad you didn't bring up Samsung into the discussion because they had the audacity to update their TV's with post launch FreeSync support to increase on screen output performance, can only imagine you'd have hit the roof because it wasn't there unadvertised in the specs from the start.
