So the 7950 I'm looking at is the XFX core edition: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150590
The downside is, XFX stopped the lifetime warranty on these unless you get the dual fan card at an additional $50: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150589
I could wait for the $300 7870's to launch in a couple weeks or go with a 6970 for $350.
I have the money to spend on the 7950 but I really want to be sure it's worth it so I'm not kicking myself in the ass for wasting $150 in a couple weeks. What do you think?
*edit-Do you think the 7950 prices will drop when the 7850/7870 release?
