Looks like I am waiting until Vega. :(

Were you hoping for more power than this?

Still 9 teraflops in a single card is crazy.

Think about the PS4,... its 1.84?  thats just crazy.

5 PS4s duct-taped together. :P

I always hope for more.

In 5 years we should have 7nm~ GPU's.
I would expect probably even double the performance of even this.

And some people think we're in the last console generation because we've supposedly hit a technological wall and that graphics can't possibly get much better than they are now. Suuuuure. With GPUs that totally outclass the PS4's likely being cheap enough to be in the PS5, there most certainly is room for another generation. There's so many areas where graphics could improve substantially.

We are far from a technological wall.

600$? really? Also this thing will cost at least 700€ here in europe. I feel like PC gaming isnt afrordable anymore, i remember when you could have a GTX 280 for something like 300-350€, not 600€. 

High-end has gotten more expensive. Mainsteam has gotten cheaper.

The HD5850 launched for $230 and was faster than a GTX 285.

The HD5850 was $260 on release and was released 7 months after the GTX 285 plus Moore's Law was still alive too back then ... 

Moore's law is still alive, it's just been extended a bit for now. :P

The posts in here about PC gaming and prices are ridiculous. This is literally as top of the line as you can get. Obviously the price will be high compared to the PS4 which is at the lower mid-end.

It seems everything that is above the PS4 in performance has a high end price in PC gaming more and more, this is not how it used to be

This is enthusiast/hig-end class hardware, not mainsteam. Enthusiast has always held a price premium, Mainsteam hasn't, don't confuse them.

I want 4K / 60 FPS.

Congratulations. It is available today if you have the cash.

How did you come up with 30%?

You're right, I forgot to count the heavily increased clock. So it's like 50% then, 60 if we're generous. That's still not enough of an improvement from the Titan X to be able to play 4k60 across the board. Games aren't getting any less demanding either.

There will be less of a permance hit with higher resolutions with this card.
