Long & loud talks about the cayman gpu's while nvidia surprised everyone sticking the 580 and a bit later the 570 in everyone's face..
Such a shame, for mr it's sad that there's no proper competition in the cpu market.. :(
I know maybe I sound harsh, but hey it's an opinion not a fanboysm in any way. :)
Just being honest. |
Not trying to start a fanboy war either (in fact im pretty impartial to AMD/ATI v NVIDIA, i just buy the product I think offers the best value) but the 5 series was hardly a revolution and NVIDIA aren't exactly full of action.
AMD caught NVIDIA out with their 4 and 5 series, which both offered pretty substantial leaps in performance, to the extent that NVIDIA had to show a fake card at Computex to assure its customer base that they were in fact doing something. Not to mention that the initial release of Fermi in the 4 series was a pretty weak contender, the 5 series was just a revision of what should have been considering the extra dev time. Also the 580 isn't really that competitively priced for it to be a "surprise," I'd say that the 6950 with its unlocking capacity took that cake.
So for the moment if anybody has been full of inaction I would have to say it would be NVIDIA :S
