AMD 7970, great deal right now or should I wait for the 8000 series ?

Agreed with the input so far.

The HD 8xxx series is too far off and won't provide a large enough increase in performance against the HD 7970. And the HD 7970 will likely run most games at max settings and high resolutions for the next few years anyway.

I have an HD 7950 and have yet to find anything at 1920 x 1080 that brings it to its knees.

Try Minesweeper.

I'm serious. The game runs like 12 FPS...

I may actually have to FRAPS that just to see it.

hehe...yeah should be a fun benchmark.

Here is what to expect - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7viOnx2_UkU
