Nice offering given that 7850's especially the 2Gb's had almost waned from the market, while the GTX650Ti Boost dried up like mid-December the market between a R7 260X and R9 270 has languish.
So now with Nvidia bringing their new Maxwell, AMD deals out the gelding part that I’ll beat they don’t have all that huge amount anymore just intended to be a…. "squirrel". This won’t disrupt much of anything as I don't see AMD seeing many of these 1024Sp Pitcairn’s (Curacaos?) coming from production nowadays, and they aren’t going to castrate good chips given how they can sell every 270X they deliver.
So all Nvidia has to deliver is reference GTX750Ti 2Gb card that’s say 35% more efficient than the GTX650Ti Boost (to withhold the 6-in), up the performance by say 5% to spar with this R7 265, while a $140 price that more attacks the R7 260X. Then all Nividias’ AIB’s will basically only offer OC’d customs with the 6-pin that get more toward the GTX660 and 7870 level (another 8-10%), but can they bring for no more than $160 price? That’s all the wiggle room they have given the 270(Non-X) is a $180 offering and provide another big leap-frog in performance.
