"AMD" and "efficient" usually don't go together.
AMD is dominating pretty hard now.
Last time I checked, which was sometime in Q1, Nvidia had a 65% share of the discrete grahics market, AMD was 35%. When you look at the professional GPU market Nvidia was at ~79% while AMD was ~20%.RCguitarist :Note that AMD's market share includes the integrated GPU on it's A-series CPUs, so when it comes down to actual discrete GPUs, Nvidia probably has more market share than AMD.
Last time the Discrete Market share was 62% for Nvidia and 38% for AMD.

Well probably, I just couldn't find Q12014 results...

The 280 and 280X (as well as their 7950 & 7970 siblings) have 3GB of VRAM. MSI actually has a 6GB version of the 280X. If these new Tonga-equipped cards are only going to have 2GB of VRAM, that would be a mistake and a big step backwards."report does indicate that they will still come with
the same 2 GB of GDDR5 memory"
2gb!!!!!!!
