I don't get your reasoning. Given that by the time AMD release their top end the Pascal range will have been around for at least 9 months already, how will matching the 1080/TX mean it's the year for AMD? They need to exceed the 1080/TXP by a decent amount for that to happen. It will have been the year for Nvidia because their 9month old technology may only be matched. No 1080/TXP owners are going to sell up for an AMD card that matches the performance are they? Not many TXP owners are going to sell even for a 10% increase because they know Nvidia's next series is getting closer by the day.

It also matters when the performance is available to the customer and how far the competition is away from their own next gen.

I'm hoping AMD do well with vega but I reckon they've focused on the CPU side of the business more and will be surprised if Vega blows anyone away other than the fanboys :D. I'm expecting a 20-30% increase in performance over the TXP given how late they are to the party but doubt that will happen. Anyone who gets excited about matching the performance for similar £ will be a bit daft. TXP performance for £300 less would be appealing to some but then Nvidia will just drop the prices.

Also worth noting the head at AMD recently stated how they can invest more in R&D as they improve sales - a sign to me they know they're not going to blow people away due to lack of R&D funding currently - they can't compete in other words.

That is why i never buy AMD product and will not ever buy. There marketing team mocks a company ,which has 5 GPUs faster than its best card. They are mocking and trolling a company ,which nearly bankrupt them in 2014. Still AMD PR is filled with 16 years old brain child, which is why teenage group are majority of AMD fanboys.

I thought amd showed us vega running at faster than 60 fps at 4k resolution in starwars battlefront.

Ok they didnt say what setting were used,but i doubt they would have used anything below very high settings for the demo.

Also the drivers used were not optimised for vega.

So i would say vega can match high end pascal,and maybe beat it.

My GTX 1080 OC averages 68 fps in Doom 4K ultra.

I wouldn't call that "very close", its hovering around the low to mid 50's, occasionally a little over 60 but also occasionally a little under 50. my guess is that one is also overcloked.

The Vega one was V-Sync looked pretty much solid to 60 FPS. there is at least a 15% average difference in performance here, what it actually is we don't know because the Vega one is capped to 60.

No that GPU is bottleneck at PCIE 2.0 due to 2600k processor on 4k and it is a reference card.

AMD are nowhere near in the game, just matching a card thats going to be over a year old, is a bloody massive fail imo, as that long afterwards, they should be topping them, whast the point in bringing out a card thats already been done in the market a year+ before its release, everyones already on that performance with the 1080.

If there is logic in tech than AMD do not deserve to exist.
