I honestly wouldn't mind but, I would have loved if they kept it as an ASUS ARES brand like their dual AMD gpu before. Not just AREZ (Probably ARES was already trademarked.) And as for nvidia I wouldn't be buying any of their next gen GPU anytime soon.(1080Ti was my last one. Switched over to AMD.) I'm tired of them milking consumers by releasing xx80 and after a few months come out with the xx80Ti which is way better than the xx80. I would be gladly supporting AMD from now on and hopefully in the future they can produce something that would beat Nvidia. Im actually quite happy with the performance with the Vega 64 I have right now + with reasonable price of 31.5" 1440p 144hz FreeSync monitor.

The problem is that nVida is basicly in monopoly for the high-end market. The Vega 64 is too expensive for it's performance due to it not being targeted as constumer card and for good mining performance. I'm not a green fanboy, but as Linus said in his last WAN: The Navi is expected to have 1080 perfomance 2 YEARS AFTER THE 1080 WAS LAUNCHED. Altough the MSRP is $350-400, I ber you anything it will surge to $500-600 after a week. Not to mention if nVidias preformance shift continues, the 1160-1170 will be the same price and performance as the red team'a top. And the greens will still have at least 2 better next-gen cards. If the rumours are true about NAVI's max performance, than it's basicly a chekmate for AMD. I'm really sad about everything that's been going on on the GPU market, but the GPP bullshit and the uncompetitiveness in the highend market leaves them on the ground. 
Again, I'm not a fanboy, but this is how I see.

I don't get you.

 

AMD does the exact same thing and that is to be expected, if you want to have the latest and greatest GPU you need to be constantly dropping money, that's consumers' fault. Did they stop obsessing with having top-ot-the line components that wouldn't happen so offen.

 

Also they can get informed about how hardware launches work so that they would wait in case it is worth it.

You could like.... since you already know this... just wait for the 80 Ti model? the TITAN card is an early access premium that AMD also does... VEGA FE and the Fury X and so on...
