But you don't understand it's flagship becasue 2 of them outperform the 1080 on a single test game that catered to crossfire!
/sarc

LOL dem arguments xD
Don't get me wrong, that's great and all. But not all games support crossfire/sli. So it is a silly test.

It's pretty cool that the card out performs the 980, It would have been EVEN MORE AMAZING if their $200 card came out at the time as 980 did like over 2 years ago. AMD would have annihilated nvidia. But, too little, too late imo.

This is however great news for consoles, just one or two of these bad boys in there, then you got a half decent console =D

Its not going to be something people upgrade into unless they are already on something <960, but I think it will do well as a budget option for new builds or a cheap way to play VR.

Still awaiting benchmarks properly but some have quoted a single card to hit performances slightly higher than a 970? If that is the case then it is decent bang for your buck.

Still going for the 1070 or 1080 myself but that's because I'm a shameless NVidia bot :)

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
