There can be no 'end'.
Which is better, Ford or Chevy? Apple or Microsoft? Kawasaki or Suzuki? Pine or Walnut?
Opinions are just....opinions. There is no 'One Ring to rule them all'

This thread WILL be shut down before long because brains WILL explode.

Is it just me or does this seem like a general "debate" question?

I vote for team Red so that Nvidia will feel the pressure of competition and make sweeping price drops across their entire product stack, thereby enabling me to afford a third Titan X.

This is a debate as old as the internet itself. I don't think one thread will solve this. Who needs some popcorn?

IMO, the better is neither...or both. For me, it's all price/performance and I buy the best card at my price point. I don't use all the bloatware that the companies offer and have no intention of locking myself in with gsync or freesync. If I have the money for a R7 370 or a GTX 950...I would get the 950. 960 vs R9 380, I buy the 380, 970 vs R9 390, obviously I bought the 390 as I felt it suited my needs better.

The companies trade dominance at different price levels, unlike how is was in the past where there would be a whole generation of products better than the others. (Thinking about the nVidia 9800 series or the AMD 5XXX series.)

I am probably one of the few people out there that truly has no loyalty either way. I was trained to always look at PC components and systems from the price/performance perspective...which is why I have never owned an apple product.

If you want a war zone then take it elsewhere. Flame wars and rampant fanboyism will not be tolerated and will result in thread closure and sanctions, just like countless like threads before it.

If you've gotten the sense that there is a whole flock of Moderators swarming in like vultures on a carcass, you'd be right. We've seen too many threads like this, and they never end well. Debating the merits of a particular feature (e.g. PhysX, or DX level) is one thing, but an entire CompanyA vs. CompanyB will bring out the fanboys, tempers will run rampant, and people will say stupid stuff that clearly violates the forum rules and hammers will swing. Best that this be closed now.
