So are you getting a 7970 or waiting for Kepler?

Nocky24 · 8 Jan 2012 at 15:59

I'm still undecided myself, but I think I might wait for Kepler and make an informed decision then. Just hoping they'll release some info at CES.

Here's me hoping I won't impulse buy tomorrow!

Price dependant. I've set myself a limit of £450 and sticking to it. I do want 1 though!

Waiting for the 7990 at least and by that time there should be more serious "leaks" to see if I will wait for it.

Kepler. I'm a Fanboy

Defy Belief · 8 Jan 2012 at 16:29

Probably just get a 580 when Kepler comes out, i'm not bothered if I don't have the latest hardware.

7970 for me, just hope i have enough in the piggy bank

I'm eagerly awaiting the 7950 1.5gb or 7870 2gb.

Freddie1980 · 8 Jan 2012 at 16:48

I can't afford to spend that sort of cash on a video card I'm waiting for the lower end AMD cards to come out - 7770's 7850's etc

Still unsure at the moment. We will see.

This.

I have decided that I really need more grunt for Eyefinity so a HD7970 seems most logical in order to keep to a single GPU.

twist3d0n3 · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:09

nope, sticking with 5*** radeons for the time being

Bobisuruncle54 · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:10

Depends how well they overclock really. If I can buy one for around £400, stick the new Accelero cooler on it and get 1.3Ghz out of it with little noise I'll buy it.

Interested in seeing Kepler as well. I'll go with any solution that can offer comparable performance to 6950 crossfire in a single GPU configuration will as little noise as possible.

7970 looks great, but not enough of an upgrade over a gtx580 to justify the price. May wait as long as Q4.

andy_mk3 · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:13

I've not long had my 6950 2GB, I'll be keeping it as long as I can, it plays everything I want it to at high settings. I had an 8800GT until a couple of months ago

Randomface74 · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:17

I'll be getting something - just not until it's got great bang for buck around £300.

antran · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:20

I will wait for keplar, my 580 pretty much run everything at 1080p.

gary996 · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:21

I will be waiting my 570 trisli is fast enough

delpy8 · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:24

Im going to vegas on 20/02 I wonder if a 7970 will be much cheaper in USA

Sgt_Pepper · 8 Jan 2012 at 17:41

I have a newly built PC sitting here with no Gfx card so I'll be buying one.
May have to go in work late though, so I can order once they go up in the shop.
