It sucks so bad that a Polaris 10/Radeon 490 won't even beat a Geforce 1070, let alone a 1080.

So stupid of AMD to once again ignore the high-end. Always making the same mistake.

And I'm outraged since I have to wait until 2017 before I can upgrade from my R9 290.

I'm all for AMD producing a good card at an affordable price, because it starts a bit of price war which should benefit all users :)
