It's not that many years ago when you could easily expect the next round of cards to well over 50% faster. If peeps stopped buying all this "drip drip" improvement then they would soon get the message that 10% or 20% just isn't good enough.

It's quite simple really just don't upgrade every generation.

I imagine that when I come to upgrade this 980ti I will likely be getting a 50%+ performance increase.

with £700 top tier cards or more if you count the Titan, not many people are going to be buying 2 of these high end cards.

I guess Nvidia would rather you buy 1 high end card than 2 middle range cards.

I truly don't understand the mentality behind the mass belief that gpu manufacturers are intentionally holding back their technology. Yes, they will perhaps delay a launch for a few months depending on market pressure, but that doesn't make the type of difference that you're suggesting, and as the following generation is ready being worked on then a delayed launch doesn't necessarily slow down the next one.

If gpu makers were stalling development, then it's obvious that amd wouldn't be permanently behind.

Well they are - sadly. Nvidia have been doing it after Fermi (2010). Remember that most GTX x80 launches here after haven't been made of their "high-end" GPUs but rather the mid-end GPU's. The GTX 1080 isn't their high-end chip but a mid-range chip. So they are holding back and not giving yes the full power from the start. In 2006 we gave $400 for a high-end chipset, today we pay the same for a mid-range chipset.
