Not so fast, AMD! GTX 790 on the way?

You can get cards now that are fairly cheap that offer quite a bit of power of the 7850 (or PS4 GPU). 

lol that's not what I asked though.

I said 4 times faster than a 7850 at a fairly affordable price-point. Perhaps that will happen with 20nm?

Although I soon will probably buy a new PC with a cheapish GPU (7950 or something) to run in parallel with my PS4 for PC exclusives mostly. But the multiplats I will want to experience on PS4 until the PC-PS4 gap becomes very large.

Perhaps not, but it should at least, give you an indication that you can get cards significantly more powerul already, for a good price. To be frank, "4x" is just a random number.

Then again, I don't look for "x" amount more powerful, I go for the absolute premium. Thus, we'll differ anyway.

Yeah, I know you're crazy with your budget. Nobody on VGC can match your comp. What was it again, two 690s?

I wish I could justify that kind of money because I certainly love the performance. But I remember back in 2006 when I bought a X1900XT at $600. It felt good but I also felt reckless with my economy.
