Market share?

GTX 1080 0.44% (+0.18%)
GTX 1070 0.60% (+0.32%)
GTX 1060 0.17% (+0.15%)
RX 480 0.11% (+0.06%)
RX 470 0.01% (+0.01%)

Now see how many gamers are using RX 480. Mostly RX 480 is bought by minners.

How does someone respond to a post as stupid as this?

Steam isn't market share and it has never given any clear indication of the number of cards sold.

And what difference does it make what the person uses the card for? I remember people on the AMD side of things saying the same things about the original Titan. If they are using it for gaming, compute, mining or as fancy doorstop, it doesn't matter. A sale is a sale and it's the amount of cards sold that decides market share not what people use them for.

I saw it when I had a GTX 980 after those come out. Since then it's not popped up once, despite several GPU changes > Titan X > SLI 980Ti, > 390X > Fury X.

Steam is extremely inaccurate, as according to them the vast majority of gamers are on laptops as well.
That's a lot Dual cores and Intel graphics as well.
 
I haven't had a ati card since my 5970 but I'm seriously thinking of giving this a try. Why should I get excited about this card and what does ati have in terms of features for the their cards now. I remember something called mantle?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but ATI is dead. Nothing new from them anymore :(

In regards to AMD however, we have nothing to go on with Vega except that there is going to be two chips; 10 and 11.

Which most likely means 4 cards, two based on each.

Look at how many people seriously consider the 1060 even in situations where the 480 has everything going for it - people tend to do funny things with association sub-consciously when it comes to buying stuff and having a card around about the 1070 as well as the position the 480 is in would have helped to drive sales of it (the 480) a fair bit - more than people seem to want to believe.

Because there are more instances where the gtx 1060 has more going for it. Example being almost every DX 11 game apart from Hitman and black ops 3, and even some DX 12 games.

If the price of the 8gb 480's was more competitive it'd be a better product, at this point it's not too good.

I remember getting the same feeling over Fury X and we all know how that turned out. . .

But do you now? :p

What you know is how the 980Ti beating Fury X when both are newly released and when both are at "current gen", but think back to to how the 780Ti was beating 290x back then, or even 970 at launch, vs now how the 780Ti seem to have lagged behind and struggle to even stay in the rear view of the 290x and even other 970 in new games.

AMD cards in generally age better than Nvidia cards not just because of having more room improve in driver performance, but also because of their new gen cards are still based around the GCN architecture at the core, meaning whatever improvement in performance would be somewhat transferable/applicable for the older gen cards as well.

Nvidia on the other hand they hit peak performance at the beginning, but only maintain that up to the point of new gen cards being launched, and the performance would decline for new titles due to the software teams have moved on to focus on supporting new gen cards with new architecture, which the performance optimisation is not transferable/applicable to older gen cards.

How exactly?

Your experience was marred by your crossfire experience, Clearly the single card hasn't been such a let down or else you'd of sold up long ago and got a 1070 or 1080 from the money through selling the Furies.

What I find incredulous is that 18 months after I sold my 295x2 because Crossfire was dire that it is STILL as dire, possibly worse! Bloody shocking really and it saddens me :(

SLI is going the same way. I recently sold my 980Tis, went for a single card with G-Sync experience was better than SLI was.

I also now decided to try FreeSync with a Fury X and the experience is also extremely good.

Beat out my older Xfire systems as well.

Now with DX12 and Vulkan where game developers have to put in all the effort for multi gpu support I think a single stronger card with an adaptive sync monitor really is the sweet spot.

To me it even makes the Titan X look appealing then.
