Radeon HD 7970 Listed by European Retailer
Dutch online retailer Comcom.nl couldn't hold its rocks, and listed the upcoming Radeon HD 7970 on its site. Listed, was an ASUS-branded card (with no pictures, of course), so it could be a paper listing for pre-orders. Comcom is asking €482.11 for this card before applicable taxes, about €573.71 with them. Disturbing as the pricing looks, it endorses speculated North American pricing of US $550 (pre-tax) for these cards. In its listing the retailer mentions the card's model number as HD7970-3GD5, and as having 3 DVI connectors, 1 HDMI, and two mini-DP.

£600 is far too much and simply won't sell. £450-500 seems more realistic for first time adopters lowering to under £400 for the main release.
Portrait Eyefinity needs MOAR power and I don't want to run CF/SLI so I NEED this card.... :D
Although things can change before release they have in the past. But usually they don't change that often.
If it were Kepler I would have more info since we are a Nvidia licensed whole saler.... but with AMD/ATI it is always sketchy for me to get a handle on.
€500 is around £420 and tax on that about £84 but then with limited availability i have no faith in retailers not bumping the price like with the 58xx cards thus my expectation of £500+.
Is this gona beat 6990 and GTX 590? well at least price is close - minor preformance increas and major price jum - is this the way the new GPU generations will arriver? who need old days when there were preformance jump and close to nothing price increase!
You go AMD - let them pay for overall discret GPU decline, overall economy slump, 40nm to 28nm transition delay, Bulldozer and other sh_it - who else is going to cash for that???

shit, dunno if it worth
To expensive for my taste, but can't argue the price point.
