Not low enough. But good news anyway, this means I can buy my second 7970 (for CFX) in about half a year from now...or somewhere around that.

^ Agreed. It's not low enough. Let's hope after the 660ti comes out at a frickin $300, which is high for a mid range-card, the 7800 prices go down more.

Nothing 'sweet' about $349 in this economy :-)

Back in my day (2009), mid-range cards were $200-249. Not this $299+ crap.

I thought the main reason for the price cuts was GHZ version of the 7970.

Rumors place the gtx660ti above the performance of a gtx580, then it should be between the performance of the 7870 and 7950.

AMD HD 7000 prices are still too high. AMD should lower the 7950 to $300 to be competitive with nvidia.
