I too hope AMD releases a competitive product. My current build is running tri fury x's and is a black case with Red LEDs and Water Cooling. I really dont wanna change the color scheme and for that I hope Vega is competitive with the 1080ti/ Pascal Titan. If not then AMD can kiss my business goodbye. Ive stuck with them with GPUs throughout the years 1950xtx - 2900XTX - Dual 4890s to dual 5870s - Dual 7970 GHz Editions - Tri Fury Xs. I really want to keep supporting them because in the past theyve always had very similiar performance but Im not going to compromise anymore. I dont spend $2000 in GPUs to play second fiddle anymore.

For now i am set. 3 Fury X's have plenty of horsepower for next gen games but im not sure how much longer i can ignore the itch to upgrade if it comes out. Hell im tempted to buy 3 of these 1080s but I know the Titan/1080ti are coming so i dont want to get stuck with a lesser GPU.

I'm surprised you didn't buy 980 TI's instead of Fury X's when you have an Intel processor ... 

Kinda breaks the whole "you only buy the best" motto, doesn't it ? 

Yeah well the Fury Xs in Tri SLI mode at 4k are better than the 980 TIs. I really dont regret buying the Fury Xs because they really are good cards but the 4 GB memory has me worried about the future. And as i said i do like to support the underdog as much as possible and the scaling on the Fury Xs for crossifre and at 4k is quite good. So i didnt break my "always buy the best" mentality haha.
