I don't even know why you guys are debating price or value on the 7970, it's NOT a value proposition clearly. It's a high-end chip with a small die designed to not push the performance boundary with no regards to TDP. A chip of these dimensions should be in cards priced <$400.
CLEARLY, AMD IS RIPPING consumers off because there's no competition. But its selling fine, because there are a lot of people out there who are willing to pay extra for "the best" regardless of its value. Is it overpriced? Hell yes. So what? Don't like it? Don't buy it and wait for competition.
I agree with all you say. I just want to add that there is value and less value (and even less than less value). It's not black&white, not even in the $400+ segment.
But I guess we should get btt, as the original provocateur isn't answering anymore.
