once 20nm GPUs hit you should get a lot better performance for the money

Too true. When are they actually due?

I'm a little disappointed that AMD is basically re-badging their 7-series. My 7870 still seems to pack quite a punch at the moment though.

20nm Volume production began a couple weeks ago a month ahead of schedule. So GPUs shouldn't be too far off.

There were rumours that Nvidia were targetting Q1 (end of March) for Maxwell, but that seems a tad soon for 20nm on a massive scale so it might be a paper launch with low end 28nm 800 series parts and a few smaples of 20nm high end parts.
