In regards to the bloated prices of AMD cards recently I'm having a major issue.
I dislike Nvidia, their business practices and massive push for proprietary hardware and software disgust me. However I am seriously considering them when I can find GTX 770s for almost half the cost of the R9 280x and get slightly better performance in most games. I love AMD(ATI). Their constant choosing to make a product that was comparable and always cheaper made me love them and because of crypto currency I've lost the opportunity and willingness to stay with AMD. I love their products and am crazy excited for Mantle but it's ridiculous that I'd have to pay almost twice as much for lower performance. AMD has lost their price to performance which was pretty much the only reason they were even staying relevant. I'm afraid for AMD and the gaming community in general. Crypto currency is going to die sooner or later and then no one will buy AMD cards anymore and Nvidia will take over. I know that no one wants that and now I'm not sure whether or not I should wait for the death of crypto currency which may or may not happen in the near future or ever.
What should I do?
