[QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

source here

The prices of the HD 7970 are dropping from $549 to $479, with the HD 7950 dropping from $449 to $399. AMD looks to be banking on the "Three for Free" bundle, the price drop and the fact of ready availability of the HD 7900 series to continue to spark sales against the GTX 680. In addition, AMD cutting the price of the HD 7770 to below the $150 price point at $139.

yep add to the fact that at max overclocks the 7970 is generally faster than a 680 gtx at its max overclock makes it a pretty sweet deal for the 7970 IMO.

Yeah, nope.

For just Diablo 3, a 680 is overkill, but if you plan to get more games in the future it will be useful.

2X 6870 is definitely more powerful than a single 6970....

Well thank you for the opinion. And as I am going through the specs of each I am getting the same idea too.

It's not really an opinion if it's a fact:P

It's a technical fact. AMD is infamous with it's horrible driver and CFX profile support.

Sell the older one and get an even better card? 1055 CPU is more then enough for gaming.

[QUOTE="adamosmaki"]decent settings ( as in medium/high mix ) with most games at 720p. BF3, Metro and a couple of other demanding games low settings with maybe a few settings on mediumkraken2109
4870 can do a lot more than 720p...

Care to do some reading?

The tech MIGHT not change, but prices very well could, just wait it out and you could see a price cut.

[QUOTE="Xsan3"]Oh yeah, wow Man those Vertex's are incredibly expensive. I'd buy 2 Crucial SSD's before Id get a Vertex. I mean theyre awesome and all - I just dont see the value.

Performance.

Oh I understand that the Performance is there, but Price to Performance ratio just doesnt add up for me is all im saying.

Price:Performance is looked past a lot, especially for new items.

Looks good, only thing I'd suggest if it wasn't expensive would be one of the new Vertex 4 SSDs.
