7950 vs 7970

there's not much room for a GTX 670 to fit in, there's too many other cards around... unless it's cheap enough to grab your attention, if not; the advantage is still with the 7950 and the 7970

the card that will fall in price the most is the 7950, but the 580 might drop too, because they're starting to drop already ( old stock)

but it looks like the start of a price war, because we have a glut of cards already, total saturation..... the market is top heavy and about to implode

i dont know why we're seeing all these new cards, because we've yet to get the 690 and the 7990.

i'm hanging around like a Vulture, ready to pounce... looking out for bargains only, spying the internet, i'm like a bitch dog on heat!
 
If nVidia really wanted to take the market away from Ati, they could do one good thing.

Bring out the 670, make sure it performs better than a 7950 & undercut it.

That way the 7900 series would have to tumble in price and the consumer could be onto a winner :D

(OK I can dream can't I?)

yes, you'd still buy the 7950 :D

i prefer the twin fans it has, it's easier to blow the dust out with a compressor, rather than a semi- sealed unit
 
It seems to me that Nvidia produce quickest cards, charge a premium. AMD produce slightly slower cards, sell them based on performance-per-pound basis. The trouble is AMD now more expensive because they have more clearly defined steps on their price ladder. It used to be flagship 3870 / 4870 / 5870 / 6970 and second tier /50 models. Then with the 6 series they launched 6870/50 and still kept lower again 5770/6770 cards. Now we have budget 7770 cards, mid range 7870/7850 which cost as much as the old flagship and very pricey 7970/50.

Whereas £270 used to buy you a flagship card, now it gets you a second tier card.
