I know it looks like there's another post like this right before but just hold tight! I'm doing a build for a friend, and the computer doesn't need to be done for a little bit. On Thursday, may2 NCIX is having a big sale on sapphire 7970's which would be a great card, but at the end of the month the 7xx serious from nvidiamight come out. Will 6xx prices drop significantly to the point where I can get a better 6xx card for the money than an on-sale 7970? Thanks
I would get the 7970, the 680 is a little better for another hundred dollars. It really depends on if they can stand to wait for the end of the month, if they can, then wait.
If you choose to wait. Wait for the next generation of ATI cards.
