The performance i get on my 5850 is still excellent, but i might upgrade to something like this in 1-2 years. The 5850 has been the best card i have ever owned. Thanks ASUS.

That's what I'm talking about, price drop baby. Now just waiting to get my money, wonder about the 69xx and 5xx series prices.

if 8000 series is good, I'll jump to the 8000 series, run 3 screens on that, and give my brother the 7950 as a hand me down gift.

Amazon.com has the Sapphire 7970 OC for $479, which is what I paid for my 7950 OC. Normally $625: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JGARVU/ref=pe_234220_23646340_pe_epc_dt2

If not already mentioned (besides the Tom's article), AMD HD7970 will receive a speed boost in a month or so. Basically, the factory OC will rise to 1100/1150 from many manufacturers. This is due to better binning of the AMD product which is being very successfully produced. Apparently, the Nvidia design is hard to produce which is the cause of the Nvidia shortages. We need competition in the form of lots of stock on the shelves to get prices down. Sapphire was planning an approximately 1.3GHz version a few months ago (according to rumored leaks). Its due in Summer. I'll consider the HD8xxx series. Hard to believe I'll be able to justify a purchase based on increased practical performance. Also await the FX8350 CPU. However, I'm set for Summer and early fall, I think
