We'll see.

But it would be a first for AMD and, if they follow this path just like Nvidia, the ones who will suffer will be our wallets.

I still expect it to be 599 €, tho. A bit above the 980 to make it note that it's a better GPU but cheaper enough to give Nvidia a hard time pricing the Titan II/980Ti or whatever they call it.

I don't think anything AMD does will give Nvidia a hard time. Even if Big Maxwell is weaker than this it will still not be priced below 800€.

I just hope that it will prompt Nvidia to roll out the full Big Maxwell earlier and not pull a shit like half baked Titan and then the full 780ti.

But pricing the big Maxwell at 800 € would be a good job for AMD as both the Titan and Titan Black were sold for 1,000 €. And no, Nvidia won't have a problem selling those, specially if the specs of the 390X are true and come with "only" 4GB of RAM.

I don't think Nvidia will launch the full fat GM200 now, they will reserve it for this year's Christmas to give the 9xx series time to grab all the money they can and also hoping that TSMC gets its sh!t together and gets 16nm ready to use by then. Meanwhile, a stop gap product to reclaim the top spot, even if it comes in the form of a 250-300W card, isn't out of the question.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

As long as Full Maxwell comes this year. Honestly I'm tempted to jump early on a 390X if it's really is 30-40% above the 980.
If the 980ti does not come soon I might just as well wait for Pascal and use the 390X as a stopgap.

Wow this GPU just keeps looking better and better! But the sad thing is that the 300 series is not coming until June.

"GM200 cut 6GB" (GTX 980 TI?) could also be interesting... but I probably keep my GTX 970 until Pascal with 16 nm and stacked memory.

Yep, supposedly it's the 980Ti with a 384 bit bus like the rest of the high end cards from Nvidia to get the odd number that Nvidia cards always have (768, 1.5, 3, 6 and now even 12GB).

The new low end 9xx card is, allegedly, the 960Ti or 965 or whatever Nvidia names it.

There are more benchmarks at 2560x1600 as well as power consuption numbers here: http://wccftech.com/amd-r9-390x-nvidia-gtx-980ti-titanx-benchmarks/ but as always, take those numbers with all the salt you can find.
