I want Matrox to come back I love their Parhelia and 3dfx I miss them too, 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 that were wonderful times! xD
Ah well I guess I am not alone here, that I just miss the old days, you had more choice ya know?
I like both AMD & NVIDIA, heck it's all we got these days, it's a shame Intel's Larrabee never got anywhere, remember that?
But as this topic goes NVIDIA does exactly the same, lol:
http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/94127-leaked-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-presentation-slides-published/ It may be faster than a RX 480, but it lacks multi GPU support, a RX 480 is cheaper has more VRAM, has better DX12 & Vulkan API Support:
http://wccftech.com/battlefield-1-directx-12-benchmarks-amd-nvidia/ The RX 480 is opted more for the future, then again both companies do the same type of Propaganda nonsense, it's not needed AMD & NVIDIA are both in the wrong for this, Frauded Marketing gets not one company anywhere. I mean it's fine a company is trying to sell it's product it'\s just the way they do it without posting factual info , just fake info just trying to make a not so good performing design look better, it's how I read this marketing propaganda lol
<<< Yes Double Rolleyes for that.
Both companies like throwing mud at each other, I don't care to be honest I know what I am buying, AMD's offerings have a better price/performance value when it comes to the mid end sector but High end they have nothing so NVIDIA can price their products as high as possible, so to be honest I prefer a fair competition from both sides, it's healthier to have a market with equal competition in price classes than one uber expensive one because the other offers something entirely different for much less, but ergh ya know what I mean I Don't hump brands like some do it is obviously their choice, just never mine.
I just buy for the best price performance I can get for my budget these days because I don't have the money to pay 600+ Euro for a GPU, I just got better things to do.
2x Sapphire RX 480 8GB would be my choice it's just under 480 euro's for me, but to replace my GTX 480's I'd go for a pair of GTX 980 4GB's when they get cheaper I think, it's a major shame the GTX 1060 has no SLI support, it kind of feels that NVIDIA is letting down a major lot of gamers that wanted a mid range SLI capable GPU, sadly that didn't happen.
But hey if you can afford something faster I won't stop you, I am fine with what ever others choose, after all making a choice is more of a personal matter
