AMD Radeon HD 7900, HD 7700 Series Price Cuts En Route: Report
Despite losing its competitive edge to NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680, for various reasons AMD was rather slow in adjusting prices of its Radeon HD 7900 series SKUs, the HD 7970 and HD 7950. We are now learning that AMD is preparing the first round of price cuts for its flagship graphics card lineup, since the advent of NVIDIA's Kepler architecture. A Kitguru report pits price cuts of Radeon HD 7970 as much as by US $60 (from $549 to "as low as" $489). The price of HD 7950, on the other hand, is expected to go down by as much as US $55 (that's from $449 to $394). There's also a small price cut in store for Radeon HD 7770, which according to the report, could go down by $15.

Though, prices of 219$ and 299$ respectively for HD7850 and HD7870 could do much more justice...
Lowest price for an XFX 7970 BE = £419
Lowst price for the same card from newegg = $540
$540 converted into GBP = £339
If i was serious about buying one, i could ask a fellow TPU member to order me one and ship it over via FedEX or DHL and id still be have enough money saved to get totally wasted down at the pub for a whole week.
Until then the 6870 Hawk in my rig will do just fine :cool:
Since amd will cut these prices we should expect nvidia do the same on their side?
Anyway, no surprise here.....Just like I said when the 7970 was released wait a couple of months and you'll save money.
The main reason to go for a 7970 is its memory, I'm planning to buy a 1440p mon in the near future, for those resolution's you need the 3 Gb :)
