The ****? This is confusing. Am I watching a car manufacturer war here again? I swear one side is going for highest performance, and the other is going for the economical approach (then again, AMD in the distant past has done that for CPUs which is why they overheat so damn much back then). I honestly thought NVidia would announce something that would mirror AMD's VR-Ready economy models. This is very confusing to me. So the rich will go to NVidia and the poor will go to AMD? Then again, unlike the car manufacturer war, paying for electricity isn't as bad as paying for gas, so I guess going the economical route doesn't give a long-run advantage like a car would. Bad analogy then.

But a different point to make would be how many people would adopt either extreme end of the video card wars. Do you want cheap and still somewhat working in the future? Or do you want something that is near future-proof and thereotically works with any game, but burns a hole in your wallet?

I believe it has something to do with the fact that PC gaming has been growing again (Its long past the "PC is going to die" theories from a few years ago), and I believe PC has never flourished and been so trendy as it is now, mostly with the wide growth of technology access, with how trendy and cool it became to be a "nerd" and more and more celebrities being open about their gaming habits. I'm sure plenty of people will easily splurge the money on something like this for the sake of the size of their PC Master Race wang

Also loved that crysis reference Zips. hopefully the joke will still be in use for the next 30 years..... "Maybe finally this one can run crysis on high".
