I am mildly excited about this announcement, at least we get a three legged race.
It's already a 3 legged race ... Of the 20 most popular GPUs hitting steam servers, ....
17 are nVidia cards
1 is the entire AMD R7 series combined
2 are Intel (4000 and Haswell)
nVidia = 74.11%
Intel = 10.53%
AMD = 15.21%
We need 400$ price for top dog cards back again.
The cost of the top card has changed little since the year 2000 ... excepting the nVidia 20xx series of course. But there's a lot of market factors in play here .... a) new tech b) low yields c) tariffs in US, d) excess 10xx inventory e) no competition as yet in the xx60 to xx80 Ti range

Yes, there were lulls dipping around $500, but those cards were not exactly exciting.
