Anyone excited for AMD's Polaris GPU's?

[The Salt Is REAL]

I really hope they beat NVIDIA this time, they're price-for-performance is much better.

 

EDIT: This wasn't mean't to be a fanboy topic, I love both companies and love to see that they both roll out great GPU's.

They beat nvidia $/fps all the way until you reach the 980ti where it is a tie. but yea they need a good KO punch.

The fanboy is STTRROONNGG with this topic.

I have a GTX 960, I'm just saying it would be nice for AMD to have some attention for once

Well if AMD can beat NVIDA in performance and it costs half as much which do you choose? 

[givegomezthegun]

I guess I'm indifferent.  It's not like I'm going to run out and buy one.. Whenever I need to upgrade I will just go with whatever is the best performance for the price at the time.  I don't care what brand it is.

Same, but AMD really deserves some attention for once

You realize that performance per dollar is not the only thing that people care about, right?

[ArmswieldTheHero]

Its all about price for performance with me, power consumption and heat aren't issues when I game.

saying someone is an AMD fanboy doesn't mean you hate the company

You must be new  welcome to Linus AMD tips, you'll fit right in. This is a AMD echo chamber. 

 

Nothing is gained by ether company being harmed. So no reason to wish harm on those who's families depend on the jobs they have at ether company.

of course! who isn't looking forward to competition and thus lower prices?

Exactly my point!

[suchamoneypit]

Im really interested in seeing the performance of the new cards, and better yet, what Nvidia will bring to the table as competition. I would love to see AMD get more market share and seeing some competitive pricing.

[DND]

Really hoping they would go ahead of Nvidia this time :3 Cause my board only supports crossfire so planning to get an AMD card after the releases of the next in line gpu's :3. Hoping the power consump of the next gpu's would be lower too :3

Yeah, the more competition, the lower prices we get

Really?  I never noticed that... I have noticed that the number of times a radeon card gets recommended over nvidia is grossly out of alignment with what the current market share would have you expect to see, but everyone is  generally pretty fair in my expereince

I'd really like to see them have some breakthroughs in cpu's and be more competitive there.  They are holding their own in the gpu market just fine.  But a 6700k is something like $550 or more, and amd's best offering is somewhat close to low end i5's.

That's not always good. If you want better graphics cards, that takes money. They drop the price and the R&D pays the price. I'm studying to be a engineer, we know these things

Honestly, they do really need to step up their game with CPU's. I'd be happy to buy one but the current CPU I have (i7 4770) was free and performs much better than a lot of the CPU's AMD had on their market

not just had - has.  the 4770 is still better than AMD's best offering

I suppose you're right, but without at least a minor competition then the other company can raise their prices to whatever they feel like

Ask if you should get a 970 or 390. Both cards are equal buy the majority of post would state otherwise. Ask about a 960 verses 380, driver overhead is ignored. And this topic has someone saying the Fury X is equal to a 980ti  so not true. 

 

This is forum is the most biased forum I have personally ever witnessed, and I've worked for forums.
