I mean I read about the 9970 in some website. Talking about 8000 series will be skipped and the code name "Hawaii" or 9970 will be released instead.
haha yes i remember that too. it was more like a few months ago but i def remember this. honestly id wait for the 8970. if what i hear is true its going to blow the 780 out of the water. couple that with the new improved drivers AMDs working on it should be a rocket ship. Nvidia is starting to fall behind if you ask me.
