    Says it 'can't wait'... while waiting.

    Will be interesting to see, I expect the top end cards to blow my 980 out of the water - at least I hope we see that kind of competition again in the graphics segment!

    Re: AMD adding "finishing touches" to the Radeon 300 series

    I've got a 980 on my shopping list, so hopefully these will either keep me on the Red team, knock down the 980 price or force Nvidias hand with a better card .

    Any of those will be nice.

    Re: AMD adding "finishing touches" to the Radeon 300 series

    I'm really looking forward to what AMD is going to release. Also brings more competition to the market which is good for us and yet still bad for our collective pocket. I'm sort of broke until next pay.

    They better hurry up, I'm wanting to upgrade a 6950 and it's looking like a 970 all the way currently.

    Re: AMD adding "finishing touches" to the Radeon 300 series

    I am also waiting to see if there is a worthy replacement for my 7950, this should either knock the top of the market and prices below tumble or just offer amazing value if not the top dog.

    Either way I am hoping for something good.

    Re: AMD adding "finishing touches" to the Radeon 300 series

    I'm still waiting to upgrade my 5850 ahah. It's always been a case of waiting for what's round the corner, but whilst previously i haven't felt the need to upgrade, i think when the 300x series is released it'll be time.

    Awesome is an over used word. I think we need to redefine awesome before using it in the same sentence as GTX970...

    Might just get a used mid-end GPU now and buy a high-end current gen card when the 300 series pushes the 290 down.
