Also, Amazon.com lists a few but only one as currently in stock (with 8 remaining!!). In reality, there aren’t that many people interested in buying $550+ graphics cards but those of you that want the absolute fastest single GPU card on the planet, this is it.
You can check out review of the HD 7970 reference card right here!!
Damn, that’s pretty week.
Damn, that’s pretty week. When the 360 came out, I believe the PC was already twice as powerful. Today the PC is something like 10 or 15 times more powerful. That means that six times more powerful than the 360 *in 2014* will still be about one quarter as powerful as a computer *today*. And who knows, maybe an one eighth as powerful as a computer in 2014. Sure wish they would stop making this commodity bargain crap. I mean, when games are $60 and the console lasts 8 years, why does it only have to cost $300? Such an important investment in a machine should be much more ($600-$900) so that you can make it more powerful… and when you’re going to spend many thousands on games over the life of that machine, even $600 or $900 is a small amount of cash in comparison.
