If you can wait and the new one might have bugs in them. But if everybody goes to get the new cards the old ones might drop in price. Maybe get a 590 which is duel core for around $500 But it might be worth the wait just to see at this point. Anyway I wish you good luck

Get the 7970 which is going to be released in january. It will cost $550.
