With the launch of the GTX970 and GTX970 AMD clearly needs to step up its game.
From the early benches (still waiting for Tom's benches) it appears the 980 claims top
performance spot of all single cards.
Now they are not on sale yet so the actual in practice prices have yet to be seen.
But it looks like it is might be priced fairly reasonably. *jaw drop* from NVidia.
-edit-
I just found a reference model GTX980 for $560!
(And this is why buying overpriced cards like the Titan for gaming was never a good investment)
I have to give them credit from what I have seen so far.
AMD will probably need to quickly drop the price of the 290/290X
and hopefully their next gen is in the works.
For now it looks like NVidia took the performance crown again for the high end segment.
