Some people take hardware WAY too seriously!
Fanboy geeks. Who fuckin cares.

How long is this video card? And will it fit in a cm690?
Being passionate about hardware on a forum dedicated to hardware.
Fuck me, right?
Maybe you should go to www.[L]impdickForums.com where people just casually talk about their computer hardware.
Some people can argue in a calm and rational matter - that's fine. Others go batshit foam at the mouth crazy and act like children. Apparently, you're suggesting that the latter is the [H] way. I would disagree with that assertion.

What I've seen on this forum over the last few weeks regarding this AMD release isn't passion. It's bickering, bitching, and whining. Over what?
I don't think the forum was meant to be for [H]ardcore bitching and complaining.
Most of us really love our hardware. We get passionate about our systems and what we do with them and just hardware in general Passion is a VERY strong emotion and not a terribly rational one either. Fanboyism and bitching is a side-effect of that passion. I don't do it here very often, but I can and do rant up a storm when discussing topics I'm passionate about. It's just a part of human nature.
Would be amazing if it was green and red people.
And that's why some of us say that some of you guys take this shit a bit too seriously sometimes. I love my hardware too. And that goes for all my hobbies, be it car parts, computer parts, or gun parts, amongst other things. But I don't get all [H]eated about it.
Step back away from the keyboard, take a breath, have a beer, and realize it's just a piece of electronics hardware, yanno? Sheesh.
LOL. That would be hilarious. But somebody might get their feels hurt with all the serious business going on.

You seem to be misreading/misunderstanding what I'm trying to talk about on a level that is jaw dropping...
I'm talking about keeping your comparisons apples to apples and you're essentially saying that isn't legit because most no one uses/cares about compute/Titan.
Similarly, you don't compare a Nissan GT-R to a Porsche 911 Turbo, you compare it to the faster, higher end 911 Turbo S.
You are right, it absolutely is. For the educated members of the [H], it's nice to look at and discuss, but ultimately, makes little difference to our final purchasing decision. However, to the rest of the world, being king of the hill sets the tone for the rest of the product lineup, where public perception does matter.
Again, I understand your logical comparison. Everyone around these parts does.
The point is, once the dust settles on who is the fastest horse in the race, the rest of the lineup and respective pricing will come into full view.
With regards to the average consumer though, let's be frank, they would never pay the prices even for a 780 or 290 non-X, regardless of how much value you or I see in them. Even many [H] members have trouble swallowing that sort of a pill.
The number of people who do or don't care about a given feature doesn't impact the validity of keeping a comparison between 2 or more products feature-wise as close as possible.Your comparison is only apples to apples if you care about compute or, maybe, insane resolutions, which most people don't.
None of this PC hardware stuff means anything to anyone who isn't a PC hardware enthusiast, IOW nearly all the population of the planet, so by your logic you must also not care about PC hardware.Your comparison means absolutely nothing to them. They don't care about it. At all. Do you understand that?

Are you really sure you've thought about what you're saying thoroughly here?
An apples to apples comparison is real world. What you seem to want is a comparison between mid-range/cheaper AMD/nV cards since that is what the vast majority of the PC gamer market actually buys. The 780 wouldn't show up in such a comparison either of course since its a niche halo product, just like Titan and the R9 290/x.I'm talking about REAL WORLD comparisons that the vast majority of consumers looking to buy one of these cards will make.
Yes actually you do, if you want to make a fair comparison that is. Even if you don't care about a given feature other people do and the features that developers actually target changes over time too.You're telling me, the consumer, that I have to take compute into account even if I don't care one iota about it?
All I did was use your own reasoning on the PC market as a whole. If it comes off as nonsensical then maybe you need to reassess it. Also just because you reject an answer via poor/faulty reasoning doesn't mean it is dishonest.Lol, your arguments get more and more nonsensical....Which is probably why you can't answer my previous question honestly, because you know what the answer is.
My how passive aggressive of you!! You have an personality only a mother could love what with the up-yours attitude you're sporting. Good luck with that, you're probably going to need it.the only things that matter are the ones I care about, anyone who says otherwise loves eepeeners/fanboys/<insert homosexual metaphor here>
If I'm a gamer buying soon, and can spend around $600, what cards should I look at?
If I'm a gamer buying soon, and can spend around $1200, what cards should I look at?

I thought we would at least have a good review by today.

What is the hold up?
Nvidia has never really cared about being competitively priced though. AMD seems to care a little more about that stuff. A 290x that beats the Titan priced competitively with a 780 or a 290 that beats the 780 priced competitively with a 770/770TI (if once is announced) would be amazingly priced cards that could give AMD a huge edge. That said, this seems to be a kind of pointless conversation given Roy's tweet.
they are gonna handle the NDA date come and gone like they did the OCT 3 pre order date and do and say nothing
