Considering how only has one directx 11 card in the current top 10 on the latest steam survey, i'm not sure how worried nV is about a R9-290x costing $600-700.

Maxwell's delay has nothing to do with nVidia. The FAB used by both AMD and nVidia for GPUs has had some pretty serious issues getting the 20nm 3d process working properly but as of only a few days ago, TSMC said they've made a major breakthrough and spent a ton of money to expand 20nm wafer capacity. Also, they pushed all timelines up and clearly said this ramp-up is going to be FAR faster than 28nm, and how they are only making ONE version of 20nm, not the usual 3-4. The CEO said all products are ready to mass produce in January, including logic, memory, etc.
