Always happen with AMD products so far.. hype hype hype then crash. People tends to think AMD will somehow release an extreme performance product at lower price compared to NVIDIA. Same thing with AMD processor vs Intel.
The problem are
1. Sites that "leaked" hyped things up
2. People go buy their reports
People should learn by now - whatever the brand presents, DO NOT ACCEPT IT!
First thing I did when AMD presented their stuff was to question rather than accept.

I do the same for others too. Every brand will use the BEST benchmark to generate an idea (usually that's greater) than what they can deliver, for some reason I don't know why.
For me it's simple, what they present is fine, just take what is presented and expect LESS from it. That's why even before I received the card I already predicted R9 390 / GTX 970 performance.
It's only logical, the price so low and you expect it to beat GTX 980?

That'll kill everything, even their own products.
