You do realize that except for the 290x (Hawaii) AMD has been using the same GPU chips (Tahiti) for over four years now. Stock is not an issue especially considering how hard the amd gpu market cooled after ASIC machines became prevalent with mining.

seriously, AMD only has 25% of the video card market share, its really not as close of a competition as you think.

if nobody cared about the influx of korean ips panels then explain why monoprice decided to use them as rebrands for their monitor lineup? Ever seen how many were sold initially thru ebay??

or why did newegg start stocking them as well??? Ever been to overlord computers?

The enthusiast/gaming crowd wants three things; resolution, picture quality, and high hz rate.

those three things come first, a technology that aids in frame stutter is secondary at best.

and to further that point, take a look what the recent dx12, vulkan, opengl news has done to AMD's baby Mantle, it will be renamed and developed by Khronos

The computer industry is constantly up and down, what is relevant one day can turn into something completely the next.

and then on the flip side of the fence you have Nvidia releasing physx source code
