Seems like a small improvement to me, I can't get that excited about these incremental improvements. They need a much larger gain, they should not be targeting what nvidia currently has on the market, they need to target what nvidia will drop later on. The 980 is clearly not nvidias top end part, it's just a precursor to the TI part coming right after amd drops their next card. THAT is the card they need to show up, and it does not look like this does. And even if the Ti only matches performance, they need to do MORE than that to sway the nvidia faithful to switch away, and even then it will be a tough sell.
so 25% performance improvement and 33% decrease in power usage for you is incremental? I Guess it could be considered incremental, assuming it's a 20nm chip.
