I have always had NVIDIA since my first pc... went from a 760 (shoulda had a 770 but compliacations) to a 970 and now a 1070... I swear id never EVER buy that bomb in progress of a gpu (any amd gpu) UNLESS it is what the r9 295x2 was.. Which if I remember correctly the r9 290x was on par with the gtx 780 ti (man old times .. When the 780ti was a god lol) and I was just reminiscing on the 295x2 and I just realized... It took 2 generations to beat the damn thing... And that was the pascal titan... that 1080 beats it but just barely... A single gpu (yes i know its 2 gpus but theyre basically one since they operate as one) that has been king for 5+ years is UNHEARD of.. AMD has been trash ever since then and now that I think about it i'd love one of those 490x2's right now.. Would be a LONG time before I upgrade
EDIT: I JUST LURKED AROUND AND HOLY. THIS IS THE FATHER OF THE 295x2
"AMD's upcoming Vega 20 graphics card will feature 32GB of HBM2 memory with 1TB/sec of memory bandwidth, up from the 16GB of HBM2 with 512GB/sec bandwidth offered on Vega 10. Not only that, but the Vega 20 chip will reportedly support the upcoming PCI-Express 4.0 standard."
