Nvidia is releasing the 780 series and they will be 2X faster than a 580.

AMD is a sinking ship and their competitors are making better CPUs and GPUs. Anything that they make isn't better than their rivals in comparable generations.
The only way they can compete is on the price, and that's why you can get a good deal. If their stuff could compete then their prices would match Nvidia/Intel dollar-for-dollar.

Bring on the new tech! Competition is good for all of us but the claim that it beat rivals is kind of silly seeing as we don't have the next gen Nvidia cards yet and if they keep looking to beat the current cards from their competitors they will always be behind.[img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4373/35734799443_53cb20ef13_z.jpg[/img]

Man I used ATI card exclusively for years. But then Nvidia came out with a few I was interested in.This last round I went back to ATI and am glad I did. Seems Nvidia had some problems with a few cards. At least the one I was looking at. *cough* 570 *cough*.
HIS 6970 IceQ X Turbo has been running pretty good, and I didnt have the game issues that a lot had with BF3. And it clocks decent. Keeps me in the 50-60fps range easily on high settings. I tried Ultra but I couldnt really tell a difference in graphics that much. And it dropped the fps down to about 45-48. So it is what it is. A good utility card.[COLOR="#008080"][/COLOR][SIZE="5"][COLOR="LightBlue"][B]Not everything that counts on the battlefield is countable.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

I'm really enjoying my 6970/6950 Crossfire/Eyefinity setup. I don't have a single complaint. These cards have handled everything I have tossed at them at the res and high/ultra settings.
I'm excited for new cards - either AMD or nV - because it shows 1) that computers are still progressing in graphics, and that 2) keeps both companies pushing for being better/faster/higher quality than their opponent.
Either nV or AMD have both had their up's and downs. Coincidentally, the last few cards I have had have been AMD (x2, current cards), AMD 5870 (5970?), nV 8800GTS, AMD X1900XTX, nV GF4, nV GF3, nV GF2, Voodoo 3, Voodoo 2. (going from current->old)
Though, I do find that everytime I go from AMD/ATI -> nV, I don't notice as much of a quality increase as I do a speed increase. I'd rather quality > quantity."You cannot have 'slaughter' without having 'laughter'"

I'm really wanting a faster processor now a days...
