Let the flood of 980Ti and 980 in the MM commence
Good, more guaranteed new card purchases from team green.
A cheap used 980TI is a good thing for someone who only has about £200.
Once all the dust settles and reality kicks in people will realise its not really a million times a TX / 980TI.
20/25% performance increase in nothing out of the ordinary, its far too ordinary for a 50% node shrink.....
But lets not let that get in the way of all the hype, the used market need their cheap as chips 980TI's.

This is almost exactly the price performance price I was expecting for the mid level Pascal. Only normal 1070 is marginally cheaper at ~£320+ rather than £350+ even then I will wait for actual reviews to see where performance really lies.
Despite this being almost exactly as predicted the die hard NVIDIA fans are hailing them as some sort of miracle cards.
Now the screaming starts......I love how the fighting talk is now literally spewing from the Nvidia users after yesterdays announcement. What a nice bunch some of them are. If the shoe does land on the other foot they will squeal like girls when the berating kicks in, saying they are being picked on.
If you don't start it in the first place then you wont get a backlash later. Be nice and wait for proper reviews and benches....then wait for Polaris/Vega before mounting your high horses.

Agreed we don't know anything about Amd cards yet and with a strong showing in dx12 with Amd they will improve on it with Gcn4.0 as it is quite a big change from Gcn1.2 we will see when they launched.
A lot of us want AMD to make Polaris a success, but can't shake the feeling they'll **** it up somehow.
What you might be interpreting as anti-AMD "fighting talk" might just be that we've got an all-time record low confidence in AMD doing anything right these days.
And the fact that we know they spend a fraction of what nV spend in R&D... it's hard to be bullish about AMD.
But really, only about 0.00001% of us here really want AMD to fail. Because we're not idiots

Absolutely, I am delighted to see indications that Pascal coming at right where I expected in performance and even more delighted at the fact the 1070 is about £50 cheaper than I thought. Nvidia leaving a £170 gap between 1080 and 1070 might point to the fact Polaris is going to be right around 1070 performance IMHO.

The simultaneous multi-projection is interesting, but i believe this has been done before by some game engines.
I like how it can properly map your monitors views to the scene, just need to get the angles right. they will more than likely give you an option to allow you to adjust the angles.

To be honest with you, I was more surprised at the 1070 price and how good it was (or seems). I think everyone thought Nvidia would go high on price with both cards.
I think Nvidia seem to be trying to kill off AMD once and for all by putting out a real killer of a mainstream card a bit like they did with the 970 back in the day.
Mind you, for them to be doing this quicker than anyone really thought they would i.e. release end of May and early June....they must have been worried about what AMD had and getting beat to the first to release by AMD. So who knows whats coming.....
I also don't think Nvidia will have too many stocks of these cards to begin with.....If they do...then I will be gobsmacked and wonder how the hell they could do it....what with GDDR5X not supposed to be available until summer etc....

I dont think it has anything to do with being worried.
Polaris is supposedly a much smaller chip, it isnt going to compete on performance so the only thing left to do is for AMD to slash the price. And that tactic hasnt gone over fabulously well for AMD over the last 5 years either.

I'm still waiting with cautious optimism.
If AMD just put the 390X onto 14LPP, it'd be smaller than Polaris 10 and faster than a 980 Ti if it could clock to 1350+ MHz.
At least all this means it's plausible we'll get Titan X performance for £200 by 2H-2017. That's one way to look at it
I just want 4K/60 FPS with 1 card at very high settings in games.
Soon(tm)
By the looks of the 1080/1070 announcement, it's a safe bet the biggest Vega card and the 1080 Ti will manage that.

I'm not really interested in al the brand war rubbish but so far as the market goes this is bad news for AMD.
Loads of people flocked to the 970 & 980 when they released and AMD never recovered much of what they lost back then and here we are again with it seeming as if AMD have no response coming any time soon.
Not good.
As for me I would have liked to get a card with more than my current 4 gb's of memory along with a 3440x1440 monitor at some point this year so AMD need to offer a solution so I go free over G as that will lock me to a brand for the next 4 or 5 years.
I'd like to stay with AMD if poss.
