Don't they adjust prices overnight? Since the new prices were official today. They would have to wait until tonight to adjust the prices. Hopefully, we'll see new prices tomorrow.

Love my 7970, it's the only card that can handle 4 monitors correctly, besides the xx90 series cards.
No Nvidia card can support my setup.

When people mention the 7970 has a nice OC headroom they forget that so does the 680.
When you compare a 7970 OC to a 680 OC the 680 still wins although marginally.
The big difference where the 680...

I'm assuming you mean the it's the normal price for a 7950. In fact, some of the nicer 7950s were going for $500.

Hate AMD/ATI Drivers as well, but this is an ok price for a solid card. That whole "Nvidia makes them worse" is a pile of crap. They're their own worst enemy.
