While I'm happy AMD fuels all three home consoles as of now, apparently Nvidia wasn't all that interested to begin with. |
I just don't think they were ever an option anways. The APU is the perfect solution and Intel's cost too much...

Yup. APU's are quite perfect for things like consoles, where you really gotta build around a tight form factor and a tight budget.
I'm glad AMD is at least getting those profits. I would like to see the company around for long.

I would cry if AMD was gone. Who would pick up the slack? ARM?!

$250 i3's would pick up the slack >.<
Nvidia dominates the top end, but since I have no desire to spend £400 on a graphics card, AMD.

I actually disagree. I love the idea of the Titan, but in practice it is nothing to write home about. Beating a Flagship card that is over a year old by 20-35% is no big deal at all when it costs 3x as much to do so.
If the Titan was 60% stronger than the 7970 GHz, overclocked just as well as it, and cost ~$800 I would agree. But it just doesn't.

The 7970 is currently 2 years old and will be 3 years old before that particular GPU is even going to be potentially retired.
Other than the R9 290X, AMD's entire new line-up is re-badged 7000 series parts.
I don't recall any time during the "GPU wars" where a GPU was badged as a high-end part for 3 years!
It's actually cheaper to get multiple 7970's than a single Titan, you would also get more performance too, that's where Titan lacks any real value unless you intend to go SLI and *really* need the performance.

It's interesting that this poll's results are the opposite of what they got on Kotaku. As of right now:
Nvidia or AMD?
Nvidia 58.09% (13,527 votes)
AMD 30.86% (7,187 votes)
Both 7% (1,631 votes)
I don't play PC games 3.11% (725 votes)

Most of the comments for NVidia cite poor drivers/support on AMD's side.

Red team! Never had any issues like some others with them, and all of my cards have pretty much lasted way over their guarantees. Just ordered a brand new 7970 yesterday, for a new system build. :)
I have high hopes for Mantle, even if it fails to deliver. I have a strong card with potential for crossfire later on
I suppose console only people will vote for AMD cause, well, all of them have AMD parts :P
