HI everyone,looking to build a new pc but not sure if i should go for the seriously reduced amd cards(7950,7970) or the new gtx 760 or even the new r9.I know no one can predict the future.Just not sure what kind of continued performance i should expect from the older cards with newer games.

Price should be under 250 ish

The new GPUs should be released next week. No point in shopping now. The 280X should be a bit faster than 7970 and cheaper.

Well currently you can not get HD7970 under 250 but can 760 which is not as powerful. It might all change next week.

The R9's going to be $700.

Just decide if you might ever over the lifetime of the card want to play any PhysX games with the full effects enabled. If the answer is 'yes', then get the GTX 760. If 'no' then get the 7970. Upcoming PhysX games include Call of Duty: Ghosts, Batman: Arkham Origins, and the Witcher 3.

Haven't they already priced it at 299,as i said only looking to spend around 250.I know the new cards will drop soon but i wasn't sure if the newer cards would perform better because i'm not sure which card would be replacing which.If the 280 is supposed to be the new 7950 than its to expensive.
