Its only the flagship as they didnt need to release the bigger maxwell chip to compete yet, just like the GTX 680. The 680 gk104 was the flagship for a while, then when the big kepler chips came out (Titan/780/780ti etc) it took its rightful place in the mid range. The same will happen with the GM204 980.

He knows that, but the fact is that right now, it is their flagship product.
Wouldnt they be the flagships?

Dunno, Titan Black isn't sold here at least.
The less said about the Titan Z, the better

Doesn't matter, it's a flagship product. How quickly it will be superseded is irrelevant. Kepler owners are quick to say it's a midrange product when it's clearly not, it's just a small step up from a 780Ti

That leak is old, could well be real but won't be till mid January we get anything remotely concrete. I would imagine anyway
The problem i see with the 390x is the price.
As amd cards are now so cheap i dont think the £400 bracket would be reasonable anymore for people already on 290 or 780 / 970 cards, unless they have 12gb memory and perform around the 20% faster mark than the 980's.

I dunno, I reckon people who want whatever is the fastest card will pay for it. History has proven that again and again.
Those results just go to show what stonking product the 970 is, offering better performance/more features than a 290X, not much dearer and without all of the drawbacks.
I'd say I'm suprised that 970 wasn't complimented more but then I'm guessing the source of the OP was an AMD fanboy because it comes across as AMD marketing bumpf as usual.
