It's a shame most people already bought a new video card by now. They are just trying to entice AMD users over.

Last time I purchased a video card for a game I was burned so I would wait for the R9 300 series. Chances are it's going to be good.

I would have, but amd said they were going to focus on APUs more than GPUs atm, and reassured that statement again in January and that AMD GPUs won't really make a fuss until 2nd quarter of 2015. Any idea which one you're waiting on? or are you waiting to see what they announce? I would have loved to stay AMD (i had 6970 got burned out on WatchDogs launch day cuz that game was so crap and poorly optimized lol) but I couldn't wait another year for one so...yeah....

I doubt it, cuz they would likely piss off a big portion of their target audience. I'm sure it'll optimize well on AMD cards.

Those features aren't proprietary and are additional, meaning users don't have to select them and won't cripple performance.

GTX 970 users will get The Witcher 3.5, right? RIGHT? LEFT?

good one, but it'll actually be version 2.5
yet it still benches exactly the same as before we knew what version it was.
But in some areas we did not test, it will be slow as hell.
No, you'll get the FULL Witcher 3. It's just the last part of the game will run in 16-bit 2D graphics.

What areas exactly are you talking about? Anandtech etc are still looking for those corner cases and haven't come up with any yet. There is nothing saying they can't do a driver update to get around it also if one ever come up (anandtech already said this, they do this regularly). Crossbar tech is not new to them, they've been doing this for ages at NV (and amd in a few cases) so are well aware of how to hunt them down and squash them. Since anandtech etc (NV themselves too) is actively looking, let me know when they find a bunch ;) until then, what you said is PURE FUD.
