What GFX card in 2 months time for £360?

[Arnie]

I'll be buying a new card in 2 months time for £360. I don't know what's coming out before then, what should I get?

Cheers.

No one can say for sure.

There are new cards coming out soon, starting with the 7970 tomorrow. Ask this question in 2 months time and you'll get a much better answer.

7950 hopefully a possibility at that price point. Its a frustrating time at the moment, what with the imminent launch of the 7xxx series and ivy bridge just down the road. Holding off just for now.

If you are spending that sort of cash on a GPU i'd wait and see what the new Nvidia cards are like, then make your decision. I'd expect there to be a 7950 within that price bracket very soon though. Although looking at the 7970 benches, i wouldn't expect the 7950 to be any faster than the GTX580 which is about that price.

Unless it overclocks like the 7970 does and it will pull away from a 580 quite easily.

@OP -It will be the 7950 or the 580 - most likely the 7950.

I reckon by the end of March the 7950 will be around that price. Looking forward to that card at that price.

You are looking forward to the 7950 at £360 Would have hoped it would cheaper to be honest.

Have you thought about asking Mystic Meg?

Don't forget there are meant to be 2 versions of the 50 - one with 3GiB and one with 1.5GiB - the latter will of course be cheaper and likely the same sped otherwise.
