AMD 2xx series how did they get it so wrong?

[NZXT30]

AMD had all the time in the world to design a gpu with a decent stock cooler that surpasses the 780/titan. Instead they designed a chip that is too hot too slow and pales in comparison to the excellent 7xxx series. And then we got the golden samples and throttling issues. It's so bad that it makes the gtx 480 that got so much criticism look amazing. Is amd's cpu failures draining funds from the gpu department? Nvidia has not been such a clear choice since the dreadful ati 2900.

fuse has been lit.....this thread could get nasty!

to give my 2 pennies worth, the Nvidia cards are amazing powerhouses but at the same time what AMD has put out for their price points is pretty damn impressive

looking at the benchmark threads in this forum is so depressing for amd fans like me. the 780 is such a better choice than the 290x.
