HD7870 XT or wait for 8000 series?

[mcox3178]

Hello,

Title says it all. Ive read that the 7870XT is basically a 7900 series minus 1 GB memory. Is the new 8000 series coming out going to have anything that sets it apart?

Thanks!

Get the 7870 XT, it's a good card, one of the best value cards, price/performance.
See this for information about the 8000 series : http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Radeon-Delay-GeForce-HD8000,20979.html

Looks like we won't be having Radeon 8000 series GPUs until the end of the year . So I think you should just get the 7870 XT .
