^From those two, I agree with what zarx choosing the 8770. The performance of the 7870, perfectly capable of running (most of) the actual games at 1080p at 60fps while using less than 100W.

Just curious, you have some info on GCN2 when you're expecting (supposed) 768:40:16 GCN2 card to match 1280:80:32 GCN card?

No, I don't have any info. It's just the non-written yet usually true "law" that happens everytime a new gen of cards gets launched. If we look at the last AMD cards we see that the second tier cards, the x8xx ones, usually match the performance of the previous first tier cards, the x9xx ones.

HD 4870  ~ HD 5770

HD 5870  ~ HD 6870

HD6970  ~ HD 7870

And even Nvidia follows the same trend

GTX 285 ~ GTX 460

GTX 480 ~ GTX 560Ti

GTX 580 ~ GTX 660Ti

I agree that this evolution in performance not always translates well into the rest of the cards (the 6870 is faster than the 7770), but it's a good aproximation on how the cards evolve and what to expect from the new cards.

Besides some time ago appeared this table

Excluding the the price, which won't be that (the 8870 at that price would make the 7950 look like a bad joke), if the expected performance increase isn't too far off from the end result and the other cards see the same increase in performance, the 8770 could end with the same performance as the 7870, or very close.
