For general graphics usage (meaning mainly: games) this would not be new. The current R9 300 and Fury cards perform very well against Nvidias lineup, to the point that they are currently in every price point for most (non-CUDA) usages the best pick (if one does not want the strongest card for 1080p and DX11, which would be the GTX 980 Ti).<p>This might vary with the prices in different markets. But that AMD is the better choice in the 200€&#x2F;$ price region, which for pure price performance is currently the high point, almost has tradition.<p>It should also be noted that the projected performance gains are qualified as <i>for VR</i>. Those will still be strong cards for normal graphics, but if they were as an enormous leap there as well Nvidia would have said so.
