NVIDIA Reportedly Stops Production of Certain "Maxwell" GPUs
Paving the way for its next-generation "Pascal" architecture-based performance-thru-enthusiast GPUs, NVIDIA reportedly halted further production of certain current-generation "Maxwell" GPUs. HWBattle reports that production of the GM204-based GeForce GTX 980, the popular GTX 970, and GM200-based GTX 980 Ti have seen production halts, to let the market digest existing inventories of the three cards; and letting NVIDIA's add-in card (AIC) partners prepare to stock up next-generation graphics cards, beginning with at least three SKUs based on the GP104 silicon, in June 2016.

Kepler Part 2: The slowdowns continue
Coming this summer to a Nvidia driver installation
No slow-downs, as its backed up by knowing its still generally faster than a GTX 970, not even considering its massive 25%+ OC.
Now we are lead to believe that all of the GM200 production managed such high yields, just 256 cores were disabled and there will be no GM200 2560 Core Edition like the 560Ti 448 Edition at 279$.

The 925Mhz HD 7970 is about 10% slower than the Ghz Edition, which according to this relative performance chart, still makes it slower than a GTX 770.
It's a different architecture. 780ti wins in every game that doesn't use extreme amounts of tesselation. The Tesselation engine in Maxwell has been improved
1+1 = 2, Apples and Oranges, and all that. Also: get some knowledge on the subject before you start copy pasting Youtube, Twitter and Reddit ramblings that go viral.

380x = ~280x = 7970.

More subscribers to Power8, NVLink's way in to the world.
There wasn't any IPC bump though.. it, like many of their other cards, are a straight rebrand with perhaps more memory or
On a different note, just means great cards are around the corner.
Genuinely, Ghosty's a nice person (I truly believe). And you're no monster either. Let's all hug?
This nonsense doesn't bother me at all for example:

Yet, when I make off the cuff remark in this thread both Xzibit and GhostRyder lose their shit, you'd think I'd just tried to firebomb AMD's headquarters or something!

Xzibit said I was trolling too! Get off your high horse, you BFF can't kiss you up there.

Hey at least you thanked my post, people getting instantly defensive on the other hand is quite telling. :toast:
Allow me to reiterate: For those games I have played that have spanned a significant (or complete) portion of the ownership of my cards, I have noticed no real degradation in performance - the relative performance across games taking into account patches or games based upon a common engine. I also don't suffer from unexplained score drops in benchmarks such as Heaven or 3DM.
Now for a couple of points that aren't directly connected with what I mentioned but are related to your Nvidia versus AMD argument:
Games now (and in the future) generally aren't optimized for a Kepler cards. AMD does however have a vested interest in having games optimized for GCN - an architecture that also gains in relation to DX12*
Secondly, my 780's run stock at 780 Ti performance levels. Even with an older CPU at stock (as are the graphics cards)I don't see any 7970's posting similar scores to the one I've posted.
* If I have a choice of running DX11 or DX12 and the latter offers no graphical improvements of the former then I don't/wouldn't run DX12 if the DX11 code path offers better performance. This flies in the face of tech site benchmarking where comparisons are generally dictated upon a single code path and graphical quality setting..
Point is, once in awhile would be funny. Constantly is annoying from anyone regardless of the side is going towards. Its not funny when its a constant thing regardless of who it is. I am just tired of his constant trolling on every thread that pops up with AMD in the title. Heck there are a bunch of people that do it far to often as well, but Fluff just does it at an even more constant rate then others and its getting quite old since it can and has started thread derailment (No I am not blaming him exclusively either since this thread basically suffered the same problem from others). I tire of constant derailments as it makes it hard to talk about the products or if this issue is a big deal when half the thread is filled with "My card is better than your card" arguments.
... though, their patience here over some troublesome posters, is frustrating at times.
You seem to think you can have it both ways, you thank posts that troll then get upset when I do it?
EarthDog summed up your solution nicely.
