You all have to remember that AMD has High Bandwidth Memory. Nvidia cant even use the first 4 gig version let alone the 16/32 gig versions of hbm. It and it’s mantle api has proven amd to be a huge contender. Vicariously amd is going to boost nvidia’s cards performance thanks to dx12 and vulkan both stemming from mantle roots. Plus look at their apu’s, just wait until an apu with hbm comes out that’s a perfect chip for a console/phone/tablet ect ect. Microsoft could use amd to there benefit quite well.

Mantle is dead, and as far as HBM goes, in the benchmarks of AMD’s new GPU’s it hasn’t made much of a difference, the Fury X is priced the same as the GTX 980 Ti yet it usually performs as well or slightly worse.
