CheeseMan42 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 AMD recently released its latest high end graphics card, the Radeon R9 Fury X, targeted at competing with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 series. The R9 was released at $649, the same price as the GTX 980 Ti, with performance between the cards remaining comparable. A price cut from NVIDIA could incite a price war between the two companies with NVIDIA potentially having the advantage. The NVIDIA GM200 core has been on the market for some time and doesn't depend on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) while the AMD core is relatively new with a low yield and a dependence on HBM. It is unclear which manufacturer would benefit most in a price war, but it is certain that gamers in the market for a new high end GPU would welcome the price drops.
