It was hyped too much and a letdown.
hyped too much? what planet are you living on? there's barely any hype, from the start of this thread it was 'meh.'

-Scott Wasson The Tech ReportA 40% savings in memory bandwidth that allows a 172GB/s card to perform nearly as well as a 288GB/s R9 280X card is a very significant innovation.
Seeing a gimpy Tonga whip a full-blown 290X in geometry throughput ought to give anyone who appreciates GPU tech warm thoughts, too.
The R9 285 is a solid product at an OK price, but Tonga is really interesting. With this tech, AMD could deliver a lot more performance for the money when needed. And they can maybe compete with Maxwell on all fronts.
What AMD did not do here is spin. Don't dismiss the notable new tech just because they didn't call it AMD DeltaCrunch Technology and make a Ruby demo about it.
Yes. You must have. The nomenclature alone would be enough.
What would THIS be then?ULTIMATE POWER. THE NEW GEFORCE® GTX TITAN Z.
GeForce® GTX TITAN Z is a gaming monster, the fastest card weve ever built to power the most extreme PC gaming rigs on the planet. Stacked with 5760 cores and 12 GB of memory, this dual GPU gives you the power to drive even the most insane multi-monitor displays and 4K hyper PC machines
GPU A produces 30fps by using 100Watts, performance per watt is 0.3
GPU B produces 70fps by using 250Watts, performance per watt is 0.28
GPU B has lower performance per watt but it is more than 2x faster
And here is Nvidia's respond to the R9 285.

See, if AMD actually had some new architecture with this chip, Nvidia couldnt have responded as effectively. Instead all AMD is doing is "forcing" Nvidia to do a minor price adjustment on the almost 3 year old ancient technology.
If AMD was able to compete instead of pushing out rebrands with minor tweaks, we could have a Maxwell vs whateverAMDcallsit, not just 750 Ti, but also the upcoming 900 series.
Try to keep up AMD
Kinda like $999 R295 X2 versus $1890 TitanZ eh?
Oh..wait a minute..:whiste:
Why are you even bringing up these cards? It is bloody obvious that Nvidia have a different customer base they know will buy the card regardless the price premium over AMD. Not just TitanZ is double the price of AMD cards but pretty much all unlocked GK110 cards. Why is that so hard to understand?
AMD do their thing, Nvidia theirs. Its the reason why the two can coexist.
But AMD not ready with a new architecture, when Nvidia had their first 2 Maxwell for over half year plus is soon ready with 3 more. That isnt exactly promising if they want to innovate and compete
what does this even mean? innovative cooling solutions, innovative apis, innovative feature set? to infer that they cant innovate is...[cant find words.]
Accurate. But unsure why you would introduce Nvidia when we are talking about an AMD gpu. Reason?

why not ask why Nvidia is still selling the 760 for 260+ dollars?
Almost 15,5% decrease in MSRP is not a minor price adjustment, it really shows NVIDIA cares more about Tonga than people in this thread.
The fact that they are using a 30months old GPU to compete with AMD's latest GPU architecture should tell you enough.
They care so much about Tongo that they will sell the successor of the GTX770 for $499 while AMD is selling the successor of Tahiti for the same or less. :|
285/x is successor of 280/x obviously... What's the Comedy Central doing here?
You wanted amd to name it r9 370 so much that you believed yourself. ^^
We were talking about hype. You had already moved away from the GPU aspect.
