Pascal, though anything with a possible die shrink is welcome.

mainly polaris because i want more competition to be brought into the market.

 

but like Xewp said, price to perf ratio is the key

How can you like their driver ui... its horrible. Just as bad or worse then old catalyst control center

Pascal, since there are a lot of rumors about power efficiency. Also I am a bit of a Nvidia fanboy, because PhysX looks SO good, also frequent driver updates. But the price of G-Sync monitors makes me consider team red.

Whichever has the best price to performance ratio at the high end. I couldn't care less who makes my GPU, I just want it to be as fast as possible, for as little money as possible.

Seeing as AMD said they are all about "Price to performance" on the entire lineup of new cards, probably Polaris.

I really hope I can get a replacement for my 980Ti for ~$500 USD with a good (~20%) performance increase.

 

and maybe we will see competitive pricing on the higher end

Im more excited for polaris because I've always been leaning on the AMD side... I gave nvidia a chance when I bought my pair of 970, and I couldn't be more disappointed... also a smaller manifacturing process and if I encourage the smaller brand Im participating in creating a competition in the market.

 

Im decided, Im buying a pair of their highest end cards when they release (not a paper release, an actual release)

Pascal; it will always be nVidia for me. Love their products and never had any problems with them. Love their aggressive, closed-source nature; probably why I like Apple so much. It just works all the time.

I'll wait you all to be the tester for new node + arch and grab the real flagship on Vega/Volta next year.
