And I've got a 5770, even worse

Not listing Titan but listing Fury due to the initial pricepoint is silly imo. Also, NVidia has put the lower Maxwell chips into the GeForce 700 lineup for some reason, so you would have to add 745, 750 and 750Ti. As a result, AMD only would have 1 card more than NVidia, and imo that's the Nano, as it caters for a very special market (powerful mini PCs) where NVidia has no equivalent card.

We're both in need of an upgrade.

I forgot about the 7x0 seris Maxwell cards, it's true and I admit my mistake, but that doesn't change anything because I also haven't listed the R5 230, R7 240 and R7 250, and the main problem still remains: AMD still has too many cards in the mid to high end of the market. They should get rid of the non-X variants and simplify its lineup.

And if I haven't listed the Titan X is for its price and because they are refered as a prosumer card. And I don't know what Fury has to do with it as it's priced as the 980Ti, which is its main competition.

Well unlike the Maxwells (not sure about the 745 though) the Oland cards are all OEM only, dunno how they count. NVidia also has their old Kepler/Fermi entry chips for OEM only purposes, mostly because companies still rarely use the iGP and prefer have a cheap graphics card.

I could agree with the 360/370(X), as they are very close performance wise. I'm pretty sure Tonga will replace them as 470(X), and Bonaire might possibly become OEM only. The 380s and 390s however each fill their niches, as do the Furys and Nano (it's not called Fury Nano btw, just Nano).

What does needs to end is the endless variants (2GiB, 3GiB, 4GiB, 8GiB, Ghz edition...), there only shall be one for each chip. This would clean up AMDs lineup already quite a bit.

Well, I can find those AMD cards on different stores. Either they aren't OEM only, or it happens the same as the Windows OEM licences.

Also, rumors say the AMD will launch the new cards during the next Summer. Let's hope they listen to us.
