I'm just not seeing myself going to AMD.
I have 150 or so Nvidia 3D Vision games that i enjoy going back to (and still occasionally release new profiles despite the death of 3D) and AMD simply don't have the bank to partner on game launches , certainly not to the level that Nvidia does or the 7000 series yesteryears where they had their Gaming Evolved promos.
Mantle and TrueAudio...were terribly aborted and unsupported by developers.
I mean they would have completely annihilate competing Nvidia cards as well as pull a change of fortunes where they become uncontested top dogs in the high end for me to consider switching. In the meantime as long as the majority of games favor Nvidia hardware, that's where my wallet will be.

Mantle was aborted? where do you think Vulkan and DX12 are coming from?
Anyhow... still waiting at the minimum for Vega... eyeing what Navi might be bringing to the table. Still rocking a 1080 144Hz monitor on a R9 290X OC, not reason enough to change yet. By the time some proper DX 12 and Vulkan games are out, together with improved drivers, we can have more apt comparisons. From what I read Nvidia is a few steps back in async compute compared to AMD and that will start showing later this year.
We will see...
