Just a few words and links.
AMD launched duoGPU card:
http://www.pcgamesn.com/amd-launch-the-1500-radeon-pro-duo-a-vr-card-with-one-gpu-per-eye
It's major idea is to serve upcoming VR stuff, and of course someone compared it with nVidia's "flagship" (one, though):
http://www.pcgamesn.com/chinese-tec...eon-pro-duo-its-59-faster-than-a-980-ti-at-4k
The question is why would someone pay $1500 for this new AMD card if pairing two 980ti is cheaper (two most expensive are cca $1400 on newegg).
Meanwhile Eurogamer speculates on known info about new nVidia Pascal that it's possible new cards will offer more than double of power for the same money compared to current cards:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/d...pascal-offer-titan-x-performance-at-970-money
IMO all this means just one thing.
Till we see live Pascal card, till we know it's price, do not buy any new GPU!
If your current card farted and you have to buy something, go with a cheap one you can upgrade later (gtx950 for example). Because it might happen you spend too much of cash just because you didn't wait for a few months.
