it is in certain situations in Doom using vulkan

Unless I'm mistaken nvidias Vulkan driver for doom still isn't out yet. Doom is currently using a very deep async queue which benefits amd while a shallower queue would benefit nvidia. 

 

To be clear, that's just what I've heard and I haven't bothered looking into the accuracy of it because I just don't care that much.

The error is that people are comparing 980ti to 1080 and 1070, when the 1080 is the replacement for the 980, and 1070 for the 970. The cost of the 1080 and 1070 are due to a lack of competition and unprecedented demand. The 1080ti will be the successor to the 980ti.

It's no error.

 

Product names, die sizes don't matter. It's the price and performance that matter. People look for a price and see how much performance they get for it. The 1080 fits in the bracket what a 980ti would cost.

 

For now it's perfectly valid to compare those two cards. The reason why a price is inflated doesn't matter to the consumer, only price/performance matters at the time of purchase.

Perfectly correct.

Infact I paid less for my EVGA Superclocked 980Ti's on their launch day than it costs to get the same model of a 1080.

Most of the custom 970s cost less than reference RX 480s in Europe.

I'll have you know in the UK, the sapphire Nitro and Gigabyte g1 RX480 4GB costs more or less the same to custom 970s (and since they both have 4GB, I mean one has 3.5+0.5GB, it's also fair as well)

Again, on a smaller node and almost 2 years later...

Said the fanboy.

 

My statement is based on evidence. And it's hardly how a fanboy would approach it, saying "oh AMD's shiny new hardware is slightly better than Nvidia's old stuff, but still well behind their new stuff"
