I enjoy competition. I like it when 2 companies push the best out of eachother allowing us ALL to win, but AMD needs to update it's schedule. Maybe this round there was an exception because both were shooting for a newer node(20nm) that didn't come to fruition and they decided on different paths.
I just wish that AMD would have a more aggressive schedule.
Even when highly competitive against nvidia cards, geforce sell very well against AMD counterparts even when priced higher.
Now AMD has no answer to GTX 9x0 cards and with no competition against them you can imagine how well those GTX 9x0 cards are selling. I would have hoped for a quick Tonga or Pirates Island counterattack but I'm convinced that is not coming until last minute this year or early next year.
Nvidia always seems to have a gpu sitting in the sideline ready to be deployed to fight off AMD but AMD can't seem to get with the program losing months of ground and lots of money. My concern is with all the bad press AMD may not continue this battle a few generations from now if this keeps up. Anyone else feel the same, I'm overdue for some red cards?
