Quit saying that it's only as good as an 8 month old Titan like its even remotely meaningful. It IS what Nvidia currently has available, and unless Nvidia has something readily available to respond with more performance them the point is moot. What the R9 290X does possibly offer is Titan like performance at a price point more attainable for some, in addition to technology not offered by the competition regardless of the fact that It remains to be seen if that technology becomes popular.
This IS the appropriate video card to release at the time despite that you believe its "8 months late"
If I do remember the launch of the Titan, it was widely regarded as a Niche product and ridiculous at 1000 dollars. Nobody including Nvidia anticipated that gamers and enthusiast were willing to open their wallets as willingly as they did and as I understand it the video card outsold expectations. That being said the fact that Amd could respond in as little as 8 months on the same node NOT relying on a cut down professional Gpu that was easily adapted, before the launch of the next node so the card remains relevant is to be applauded.
And another thing, just because pendant 1 simply proclaims something "=BS" does not add validity to the argument or somehow make it true.
Both True Audio and Mantle will stand on their own and will fail or succeed on their own merits and not because you say so. I invite you to share your wealth of knowledge on the subject otherwise because there is no place in this discussion for a claim like that to be made "because I said so"
