AMD Card Prices

Hey guys,

I'm still new to the whole, which GPU is better stuff. But I was just wondering, why is the 6870 more expensive than the 7870? 

Here is an example: http://puu.sh/2oIBU | Then there are these: http://puu.sh/2oIGh

As you can see, in some cases, it's cheaper, but in most (not shown here), it's more expensive; as much as $50. They are sometimes similarilly priced. It's pretty much based on how you percieve statistics, really.

I can even see that the specs on each card differ significantly, 7870 being better in most fields.

Halp, please!

P.S. - I think it was the same deal with the 5xxx and 6xxx series, except there was a bigger gap, mind you.

That's weird, but don't by a last gen card, always get buy new

My guess is that some of the retailers might've never marked down the prices for some 6870s. The 7870 is hands down the better GPU.
