GTX 980TI in sight ?

There's nothing wrong to be loyal to the brand.

There is everything wrong with being loyal to a brand. Everything beyond trying to get the most value for money is idiotic.

Too many kids nowadays are spending their parents money stubbornly on any given brands, as a result we have $1K+ GPU's.

Equally stupid is their wishing for the brand they don't like to go bankrupt. I guess when you are spending someone else's money, it's hard to realize just how bad monopolies are.

I don't know about you, but I will always buy Nvidia in GPUs, even if AMD offers the same performance GPU with 100-200$ cheaper. However I can recommend AMD GPUs to others if they are on tight budget. I will also always buy Intel CPU, even if AMD offers their CPUs for 10$ & I won't recommend it to others, cause they are generally bad, anyway right now, until they don't change the damn architecture. I'll always stay loyal to these brands & I'm thankful to both Intel & Nvidia for giving us great performance products.

The 970/980(gm204) are midranges cards, just like the GTX 680(gk104) was, they have GM200 which has more cuda cores/bigger bus etc similar to a GK110 (gtx 780 all the way to titanblack). If AMD only outperforms them by 5% don't expect GM200 coming.

 

But the timing of the release between GK104 and GK110 (680 and 780, not including Titan) was quite a gap.
