Yaaay! Really, that's cool but it's a negligible fraction of the market. Unless Linux gaming becomes a market force overnight, it won't matter a lot, I think.

I doubt they can close the large power gap that the initial benchmarks show (compared to the 1080 and esp. 1070), but I'm hoping the power margin will get narrower and a bit of performance increase might compensate too.
Indeed, I am dampening my expectations, I'm most hopeful that in the high-end GPGPU compute arena they might not be too late and will provide enough Perf/W/buck to gain traction.
