The only problem with the Fury X might be the price. The thing uses less power than a 980Ti and ties with it on many sites. It's quieter and cooler. How on earth does this equal a failure that needs a thread about where AMD went wrong?
For the first showing of the card that is good in my book. I say wait a few months to see how things turn out before you start with this whole "AMD needs to do better than nvidia to be equal" crap.
Oh, another thing they "did wrong" might be that their involvement in games doesn't screw things up for gamers in general and the competition. unfortunately that works against them because a lot of us are so daft we can't see that there is no bacon on the pizza and the cat is actually a dog. They are transparent in improving games, unlike nvidia.
AMD did good. Better engineering than nvidia, maybe need to lower price because of initial results. over 8 teraflops that could be realized with dx12, higher compute. Come on. Sure if they cut dp more they might be much faster pinning the tail on the donkey but they still did good.
