I think the R9 290X doom was premature.

No offense but after reading though your comment all you actually said is:  "The 980 costs an extra $200 for driver support and 10% better performance."

This driver support myth has got to die people.  Google Nvidia driver issues, and then AMD driver issues.  They will both get plenty of hits... Actually Nvidia has 50% more google hits lol.

Well... I never said it was a great deal loll... All I said was that for those that just want the best of the best, they will get a 980, even if the price/performance isnt there

And I have had better driver support from Nvidia than amd, specially considering how often Nvidia updates their drivers with new profiles by comparison

I got better driver support from Nvidia.  I know people who will say one way or the other as well.  My point is that clearly there really is no difference.
