| Zones said: The 'war' between AMD and nVIDIA is heating up with both of them pushing the GFX performance higher and higher, in addition to aggressive pricing from both sides now. This holiday season though, it seems that nVIDIA will annihilate AMD as the GTX 970 is an exceptional value to performance, but I am sure AMD will do the same to nVIDIA soon thereafter if these rumors are anything to go by. nVIDIA could do the same thing to AMD again later on, but I hope not, because AMD needs all the money they can get, and I doubt they will get much this year. |
If I had to guess this is what will happen:
-October/November launch of 295X which will be a highly overclocked 290X that beats the 980 by 10%. (Hopefully).
-Nvidia releases the Titan II a month later and beats it by 30%.
-AMD releases 390X in January/February and beats Titan II by ~10-20%
-Nvidia releases refined Maxwell a few months to half a year later and the cycle continues.
