AMD HD 7000 series won't come cheap

Given the fact its 79xx series, that's sounds on par with the previous entries when they were introduced (59xx and 69xx), so I hope they also reveal 78xx pricing.

More graphics updates, hmm.
Not sure I'd see any serious practical improvement on my GeForce GTX 460, not with a 'normal' 28" 1080 single screen.
I'm stepping off that merry-go-round for a few gens now, I'll give it a year or maybe two before I look again.

I'm still using a single HD5770. Completely skipped the HD6xxx series on power/heat issues.

I just bought 2 add'l monitors and then realized that my HD 5850 wouldn't be able to handle Battlefield 3 while using Eyefinity. I don't really want to spend $700 on a 6990, so the 7970 will be a cheaper alternative. And I can always look at Crossfire after the prices come down in a year or so.
