i think we both Know i was talking about the 7900 in general,but carry on...
Erm,what?,prices of these cards should be compared to other cards which have sold at the same price point?.fucking gibberish. these cards(7900 series incase you get confused|)should be priced on there own merit.which is over fuckin priced:sneaky:.forget how older cards were sold for it gets boring fast.I didn't, but thanks for clarifying. However, I still am not sure how you are determining this. That said, no one would expect Sales at this Price point to be the same Volume $200-300 Cards sell for. What determines Good/Bad at this Price point would have to be compared to other Cards which have sold at that Price point.

Green team has sunk to an all time low with this launch.
*coughs*,dunno sherlock,we are screwed?If you don't compare them to cards in the same price bracket, how do you propose to determine their merit?
has anybody seen any reviews that show 6950 crossfire in the results?
what he said!!! () trying to decide if i want to wait for 7950's to come down in price or get anther 6950 and run crossfireI believe he wants to see the performance difference between HD7950/70 against HD6950 in CF
If AMD priced this thing at $229 the Nvidia guys would have bashed AMD for not having business sense. They would be upset that Nvidia will now have to price their parts very low to compete, and these companies won't make money for R&D on the next parts. When AMD prices the card near an Nvidia card that is slower and also uses more power and puts out more heat, then they get bashed for the price being too high.
This is a launch with no real competition. This is what happens in these cases. If you really want a 7950 at a lower price, wait for Kepler. Right now AMD has the better high end cards, and they are priced as so. Once Kepler arrives things will likely change, we'll have competition again and prices will reflect that.

Define soon. Give us a date.You do realize that the 580 is a soon to be discontinued card?
The true story is how are 7970's still selling? Most people will see the $480 price tag of the 7950 and then just buy a 7970 for the extra money.
Prices are still ridiculous on them because retailers have already bought the stock and don't want to eat a loss on them otherwise they'd be about $300 so they could get rid of what nvidia has left.

Back at at you,the most stupidest post ive seen today,im guessing your view we should be paying 3k for cards in the not to distant future?fucking ridiculas.i couldnt give a flying fuck what you think is good for amd either,give it a rest jeesus fucking christ.Well, thats the stupidest post I've seen today and I just came from reading P&N! Of course the other cards have to be taken into account for pricing!
Is AMD doing what is right for their business? Most likely. We CANNOT know for sure until we know launch numbers/margin etc but it does seem to make sound business sense for now. Why? AMD currently has no competition. Are we comparing a new card to nvidia's old card? Yes - but thats the only comparison we can make right now as nvidia has no alternative.
The big question is what will happen when nvidia releases their new card. Will AMD need to drop their price to remain competative? Will they be able to and still make a profit? My guess is they will drop their price and they can drop their price enough to continue to make money while selling their cards. If so then what they are doing now make perfect sense. Charge the most you can get out of your cards from the people who want/need to upgrade now and while you have no competition. Then - once you do have competition, adjust your prices accordingly.
It sucks for us but its good for AMD
