price tag is always AMD game, but heat and especially power just isnt there yet. im really happy whenever i heard they said its going to be low power consumption.
Nvidia and AMD arch is two vastly different GPU, the reason why nvidia could pull 'magic' with power consumption on 28nm with Maxwell is because they gimped on several stuff like for example the hardware asynchronous unit for starters, and not forget about FP64. New process nodes will always give better power consumption for the same transistor count and arch.
AMD current Achilles Heel is weak texture filtering and tessellation as compared to nvidia counterparts but Tonga and Fiji steps on the right direction but it still isn't enough for me to upgrade my Hawaii card.
AMD promised new front end with Polaris which I really hope will overcome these shortcomings, with new process nodes they could experiment more with it but I won't be a test subject. I'd wait for Vega if I ever want to upgrade. We'll see. The only thing I worry about is there isn't any interesting games to play with this cards. New games that focused on multiplayer and always online requirement makes me puke

Rumours about Vega release in Q4 emerge online. Possible?
QUOTE
Vega10" is lined up to replace the 390/490 series. Vega11 will replace the FIJI Fury parts. Rumors right now indicate that Vega10 has 4096 stream processors and could compete with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. Vega11 would feature 6144 stream processors and would be lined against the GP100 big pascal GPU (think Titan).
quote from Guru3d
Why is Polaris10 bigger than Polaris11 but Vega10 is smaller tan Vega11? also i believe that Vega11 will b dual gpu Vega10

Ah... Tessellation performance - I recalled this is pretty much the biggest weakness of the ATI HD5800 series.
Still remembered how GTX470/480 literally demolished the HD5800s when it comes to tessellation - but at that time I don't think there are games that actually utilizes that much tessellation.

It's ironic that its ATi back in the day that pushes tessellation with Truform and such but when it become standard suddenly it falls flat.

Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2 Highlights
Support for: Doom™
New AMD Crossfire profile available for: Battleborn™
Fixed Issues -Radeon Settings may sometimes suggest upgrading to an older driver revision when using the new driver notification feature. -Frame Rate Target Control may not keep the users previous settings when disabled. -The option to enable/disable AMD Crossfire™ technology logo may be missing on some system configurations from the" Gaming, Global Options" tab in Radeon Settings. -Radeon Settings game manager does not display icons for Origin Games. -Radeon Settings launch with Eyefinity profiles may sometimes not take effect after system has been rebooted for profiled games. -Some characters or game areas are rendered very dark in Hitman™ using AMD Crossfire technology mode. -Restore factory defaults may occasionally not work for the "Display" tab in Radeon Settings. -The power efficiency toggle in Radeon Settings may be available to some unsupported system configurations. -The text in Radeon Settings drop down menus may sometimes get cut off when in windowed mode with some Windows DPI scaling settings. -League of Legends users may experience minor graphical corruption when using AMD Crossfire technology mode. -Star Wars™: Battlefront users may see corrupted ground textures in the Survival of Hoth mission.
Known Issues -A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay". -Users in Quad AMD Crossfire technology configurations may be unable to re-enable AMD Crossfire mode when using the global AMD Crossfire option in the "Gaming" tab and toggling it from on to off. -The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt inventory and character pages may exhibit flickering in AMD Crossfire technology mode. -Call of Duty™: Advanced Warfare may exhibit stuttering when using AMD FreeSync™ technology and AMD Crossfire technology in conjunction. -Installing Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2 multiple times on the same machine after rebooting may cause the installer to hang. -The AMD Crossfire mode options in Radeon Settings may not take effect on Origin or Uplay applications. -Radeon Settings Additional Settings page may not be available when upgrading to Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2 from the current windows update driver. As a work around please clean uninstall all current Radeon Software when upgrading if your system exhibits this issue. -Some textures may exhibit flickering in Fallout™ 4 when using AMD Crossfire technology. -Forza Motorsport 6: Apex™ may exhibit brightness flickering when using AMD FreeSync™ technology. Frame Rate Target Control gaming profiles may fail to enable for some games.
New driver runs Doom flawlessly, it's so buttery smooth even on my stock clocked 290X runs the game maxed. Get around 90-100s and down to 60s during fights.
