I'm reading this here in late 2013 and near the launch of a new "flagship" GPU for AMD. I can't help, but laugh. If you bought this card back in January of 2012 you would still be set, that's almost 2 years of hardly any progression. Things have definitely slowed down from the boon we in the 20xx's.

AMD's suggested pricing for the HD 7970 is $549, which feels a bit expensive, I would consider $499 reasonable and $449 a bargain deal. However, even at its $549 price point, the Radeon HD 7970 is an ok deal when looking at other options in the high-end graphics card market.

This is also hilarious, since the suggested retail for the R9 290X is $600, which I still think is to much, follow your pricing AMD not NVIDIA's :banghead:
