No one knows what price the next cards will be, 260 quid for a 7970 is very good price/performance, the 9970 is going to be less price/performance, the 9950 might only match the 7970 in price/performance.
Just stick with the 7970 in all honesty, jump at 20nm though.

It's a little weird since the cores have a fair amount left in the tank.
A 5870 wasn't much slower than a 6950.
So they'll likely clock these cards up to make the difference seem bigger.
But they've got limited room, and can't exactly make the 9970 a monster (Given you know, we're 2 years on almost from the 7970's début) so even if they managed to make it faster than a 7970 by about 30% and the 9950 faster by 20% you'll be paying for it.
