i wanted to buy the 1080 cuz its goona be out in 2 days but i wanna make sure im not throwing money away, will the amd gpus be able to rekt the 1080 ?

Only AMD gpu that will be able to "rekt" the 1080 will be VEGA and it will come in early 2017 most likely, so your best option is the 1080.

I recommend the 1080 as of right now. Not only has it dramatically increased performance, but also electrical efficiency. Nvidia also has so many tools available to developers that help them to optimize games for Nvidia. And we know that most games are optimized for Nvidia anyway.

Bottom line: I recommend the 1080.

AMD vs nVidia threads tend to go downhill fast.

The 1080 is a known quantity, AMD's offerings have yet to be announced.

In short, nobody knows for sure.

No one will know since Polaris is not released yet. In Ashes of Singularity (DX12) shows that the R9 Fury(x) is running better then the older Maxwell series but still behind the GTX 1080.

Also the GTX 1070 is soon to be released and depending on performance it could be a better price/performance like the GTX 970 was compared to the GTX 980.

Prior to this release I tried to steer people towards the AMD offerings most of the time, at least as far as the R9 390 vs GTX970 and 390X vs 980 went. As it sits now though, AMD doesn't have anything that will be able to touch the 1070 and 1080. Definitely go with the 1080

If anyone could answer questions like that, they wouldn't be sitting here, they'd be at the Belmont Stakes with a big wad of cash .

Now if I was to take an **educated guess** .... then Id give a qualified "no". The last time AMD was competitive was with the 7xxx series. The GTX 970 has outsold all AMD 2xx and 3xx series cards (about 30 models) combined by a factor of 2:1. That gives nVidia a huge cash advantage in the R&D department. Based upon current sales rates, nVidia will own 70% of the installed discreet graphics card base by the end of this month. AMD doesn't have a card in the Top Ten and the entire R9 200 series (8 cards w/ 1.63%) combined, has a smaller market presence than the GTX 660 (1.65%) and just under half the presence of even the GTX 960 (3.26%)

That being said, I would truly love for AMD to pull off a win here. But the 380 / 380x was AMDs only horse in the race last generation ... and it has not seen a win in the top tiers in quite some time. While AMD remains competitive outta the box, their Achilles heel has been the lack of overclocking headroom. The 390x OCs 6% ... the 980 Ti exceeded 30% . When all cards are overclocked, the $300 970 takes the $400 390x, albeit by a hair, up to 1440p based on TechPowerUp's 19 game test suite and overclocking results.

Each year we have heard that [insert new AMD tech here] was going to "change everything" but it just has not come to pass and AMD market share has continued to slip. So while I'm sitting here with fingers crossed ... with two out in the bottom of the ninth, hoping AMD can load the bases and put one outta the park, looking at the their resources ... or batting order to continue the analogy, I just don't see them pulling it off.

To my eyes, AMD has too long been content with owning the lower end of the market. At one point IBM owned the laptop market because every year the magazines came out w/ their roundup issue and the IBM A20p was on the cover ... It was expensive and IBM didn't sell a lot, but every geek / executive wanted to walk around showing off that IBM logo. When some bean counter decided to drop the A20 because it had small margins, and didn't sell a lot of units, they lost the cover and hence the market. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the 960 outselling the 380 / 380x..

Two generations in a row, AMD had their fire stolen .... they topped the 780 (non-overclocked) only to have nVidia dust off the 780 Ti design and drop it a week later ... it was a repeat performance with the 980 Ti. AMD needs to take that top spot (and not just "outta the box" but overclocked) and will likely have to reduce their margins at that level a bit to capture mind share. Their performance target has to move from the 1080 ... to the 1080 Ti.

ty sir for explaining every single thing so i was able to know what i could expect.
and u can answer questions like do u think, i wanted the opinion from ppl like u who had some knowledge about i, once again ty sir
