So which cards from ATI are meant to compete with nvidias 980 ? How much power they will consume? What will they cost?

ATI is on the loosing, they better bring out something very innovative or they gonna loose the race.

Also can the OP or an mod please add an poll for voting either team red (AMD/ATI) or team green (nvidia).

Thanks

The top dog in performance seems to wave back and forth for each new release, there are Rumors that AMD is almost done with the R9 3XX, so we should see that in the next few months if the source is accurate.

EDIT: I would like to clarify i am not a fanboy, i'll use whatever brand is best at the time i am buying.

Radeon R7/R9 300 series expected to be announced soon.

They aren't even announced yet, never mind released. Probably when they are out they'll take the absolute performance lead, because by then they'll be brand new and the 980 will be a year old.

In any case, across the board AMD and nVidia graphics are pretty competitive with each other, except if the drivers let them down. Maybe nVidia's 980 is a bit faster than AMD's 290X, but then nVidia has no single card comparable to AMD's 295X2 (although a pair of 970s would be a similar price). Which makes it as much as anything down to personal preference - and there, people tend to stick with a brand that's done them well or switch if they have problems, which makes the drivers and software the important thing really.

AMD's bigger problem, IMHO, is on the CPU side. They're doing alright commercially but they just can't compete with Intel on high-end performance at the moment.
