    That is a pretty high price for a re-brand. I suppose someone will pay it though. I will not be upgrading unless they overclock well.

    This is actually a slight relief for me, I was taking a gamble by buying now or waiting, and it seems to have not been a bad decision to just go ahead with the 7970m.

    No, you will be alright Splintah. I was under the impression that the next major offerings from both AMD and Nvidia wouldn't be for some time to come.

    Well they will be adding their own premium to the card, an early ebay seller price cannot be used to judge what the cards are actually priced at.
