AMD looks to have dropped the ball for 1H of 2015 for GE. NV is getting MGS V, Batman AK, Project CARS, Witcher 3. AMD is falling asleep at the wheel since not only are they 1 generation behind in GPU architecture, but all these GW titles have a strong shot at crippling AMD gaming performance/or heavily favoring NV (as we've seen with MGS already). Furthermore, without a strong game bundle and lack of discounts on 290 cards, they will be dead in the water. Without a solid game bundle, imo AMD needs to drop 290 to $239 MSRP and 290X to $269. I mean if AMD knew they wouldn't release 300 series for 1.5 years since 290X's launch, they should have released a 10-15% refresh as a stop-gap. Now it doesn't look like 300 series is even close to launch.
Why is there always this silly negativity around AMD in here? You can get a 290X that offers 90% of the performance of Nvidia's flagship 980 for usually 200 dollars less. Most people would consider than insanely good value. Some how Nvidia hasn't managed to cripple AMD's performance, as you put it, in the past 3 years.
Up until recently, AMD's Never Settle bundle has given out multiple games, while Nvidia cards had nothing at all. In the past, when the Never Settle bundle's start to 'run out', its because they're getting ready to refresh them.
On the Gameworks titles, the only one listed that will have any impact on the PC is Witcher 3. The others, B:AK, MGS5, CARS, those are all console focused titles, where it would be utterly stupid of their developers to focus on Nvidia proprietary features when the XB1 and PS4 are using AMD hardware. Previously released Gameworks enabled titles have all fallen flat or been so buggy at release that they could rightly be called unplayable. At this time, Gameworks should not factor into any purchasing decision. An argument could be made that GW would count against buying the game or card, if one doesn't want to lock themselves into proprietary things.
And the 300 series cards, as far as anyone can reliably say, are still slated for 1Q15. So calm down, and stop spouting the fan boyism. You'll get the Fiji and Bermuda cards in a couple months.
