When AMD releases a GPU, it seems like the competition has something far more advanced either already being sold, or waiting to be sold right after AMD releases their product.
How can AMD beat Nvidia's GPU's?... Build a GPU that is more powerful than 2x 1080TI's, and is several generations ahead.
Below is the dream GPU which will destroy the competition. I understand that engineering such a GPU takes time, but why not invest in something like this? Obviously don't make a dual GPU single card such as in the past, those were a mistake. Make a card with extremely profound specs, something Nvidia would never expect. Because the next gen game people will be playing is games such as Star Citizen.
Nvidia only does 10% performance boost increments each year, when a new card is released, so release one that is 100% better.

Hello,
Simply because it cost a lot of money, time, resources, etc to be able to design, then build and sell a powerful gpu, taking also into account the present and future technological landscape.
Not all the gpu can be designed, often you have limited design capability, there are patent to take into account, then how many people, money you are throwing into the design and R&D phase.
The same apply to the manufacturing, you have limits on how big a gpu die could be, you have efficiency limits, how many good gpu dies come out from a whole piece of silicon. The manufacturing capabilities need also to be took into account, the technology to produce these gpu dies cost a ridiculous amount of money.
Finally you need to take into account the software and developer landscape, the games and programs that will use your gpu. Again this is not an easy task to match the requirement of the user and at the same time being really more powerful than everything else.
Hope it help you a bit to understand how hard it is to build a gpu, even harder a successful and powerful one.
I like tho your name proposition, RX-Eclipse sounds pretty awesome for a gpu name!!
