Future 7970 owners?

[Arachnotronic]

So, reviews are out on the 7970 and we know how it performs -- who's buying at least one (or trying to) on January 9?

I'm in for one

 

[nitromullet]

I'm probably in for one. Depends on availability, actual retail pricing, and if NV has anything interesting to show us at CES; but most likely I'll pick one up.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I'll try if they actually are available for $550.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Will pick one up if prices aren't gouged and if availability is good.

Just hope supply is good.

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

My brother is in if:

a. no price gouging
b. he can get one that allows voltage adjustments

Otherwise, he'll wait.

 

[nanaki333]

i'm in for at least 2 to replace my 6970s.

If I win >$1100 in a lottery while they're still the world's fastest single-GPU cards, I'll pick up a pair.

A pair of these suckers would just be...I'd...well, it's overkill for me since I'm at 1080P. Wish I had a 2560x1600 monitor...

 

[blackened23]

I'm down to get 1 maybe 2. I play at 2560x1600, which both 6970xfire and 580 sli struggle at in some games (ie witcher 2 w/ uber sampling, crysis 2 hd dx11, etc)

Worst case, i have a bunch of old gpu's I can sell to fund it sooo, nothing to lose

Still, you're better-off than I am. I'm using a 1440*900 ViewSonic LCD that only has a VGA connector, and has a column of stuck pixels. xD
I'd probably be using them on my 1080p TV, though.

 

[Arachnotronic]

I sold my GTX 580 to afford one of these. Until then, I'm stuck on an A8-3850...

 

[badb0y]

 

[lsv]

Not in, just got a 6950 for Christmas

 

[dagamer34]

6950 was my first high end card, do I'll probably stick to that for a while. Maybe I'll upgrade to the Radeon HD 8000 series if that's s big jump. Also need a future PC game worth upgrading for, this gen of consoles is holding us back by quite a bit.

 

[Zed03]

yes, but only if I can find it for MSRP.

Just got the cash back on a radeon 6790 just to make sure i could afford mine on the 9th as well till then i am stuck on hd2000.

Worth it

 

[Elfear]

I'll be getting one barring any price gouging. Sold the 6950's a couple weeks ago and I'm using a 6870 in the interim.

 

[raasco]

Maybe..........or a 7950 whenever that comes out.

 

[Grooveriding]

Whenever you all start to get your cards, if you are into overclocking, please let us know what sort of clocks you are getting.

Hopefully afterburner will be updated soon to unlock voltage control.

 

[ShadowVVL]

I will most likely get a 7770 when it comes out.

 

[toyota]

I will most likely get a 7770 when it comes out.

or you could just get a 5770 or 6770 now...

 

[WildW]

I'm waiting for the mid-range version too, hoping to step up to 6870/6950 ballpark performance in the same power envelope as my current 5770.

 

[Arkadrel]

or you could just get a 5770 or 6770 now...

The 7770 will be on GCN architecture, just like the 78xx and 79xx cards.
It will probably be decently faster than the current 5770/6770's.

The 7770 isnt gonna be a rebage.

 

[Lonyo]

I'll buy an HD7950 if it's about £250 at the end of March unless NV has something better for the price (which in the UK historically they havent had).

At the moment the HD7970 isn't really worth it since it WILL drop in price in a very few months, unless you are desperate it's a waste of money right now.

 

[Annon2255]

Might hop on one of these. Depends on when Kepler launches and how well it does. If anything, I'll wait until Kepler launches and wait for these to drop in a price a bit.
