...I really need to see benchmarks on these cards. Between this and the huge price hikes, Turing cards will have to obliterate Pascal cards in performance to be worth buying.

The vagueness of this is a real red flag...

It'll be nice seeing more genuine deals, rather than retailers calling MSRP a discount...but I'm still just gonna wait for the next gen cards at this point.

It's so nice to see AMD in a position to go for the jugular like this.

Same. Between the mining-induced GPU price spikes and RAM prices, it's felt like being trapped in Limbo.

Especially if people have viable alternatives.

Noob question: how would you calculate peak theoretical TFLOPs based on the listed specs? Is it 5120 shaders x 2 x 1.3 GHz clock = 14 TFLOPs? Or am I missing something?

Indeed. I'll wait for more concrete details before letting the hype take me away.

That's nice, I guess.

Cheaper than I expected, which is a nice change of pace for an NVIDIA card. That's only $50 more than the 980 Ti was at launch. Still WAY out of my price range, but I'm glad it wasn't $800+, LOL.

Do I detect just a twinge of bitterness? :p Can't say that I blame you, though. That keynote was a slog with no real payoff.

It's been a while since I've anticipated the pricing and benchmarks for cards from both companies so eagerly. The wait for reviews and impressions is agonizing, LOL.

The short pleasure time and extra clean-up issues due to the materials make this a non-starter to me at that price.

I really want this, but 2GB of RAM on a 128-bit bus...I'll have to wait for reviews, or possibly a 960Ti. :/

A Gigabyte 7870. Hoping to upgrade soon, budget permitting.
