Good point. I am guessing that the new cards will be out mid 2013? At the latest? What do you think?

I also can't SLI yet because i can only fit a second gpu into a pcie 2.0 8x slot due to my case. So therefore it is not worth it. basically I am planning for the future after I get a better mobo so that I can eventually sli these 7970's. Or is that a bad idea?

I too once did a sli setup of x16/x8, big difference from x16/x16

I ended up selling my 470 and buying the gigabyte gtx 670. I'm in the process of overclocking it, so we will see how it goes!
