Anyone else excited for these cards that are supposed to be unveiled this month? They are supposed to be more or less around GeForce GTX 780/TITAN performance. Hopefully these leaked benchmarks aren't fake, and I hope these cards launch for $600 or less.

looks neat! i always loved AMD cards.

ill never understand why people get excited for videocards that are more than $300.

I'd love to have a pair to replace my current 7970 + 7950 CrossfireX setup. However, I will probably wait for custom boards to come out with beefier power delivery and custom cooling solutions. Right now I have a reference (leaf blower) 7970 and a Gigabyte 7950 Windforce 3x, and the 7970 gets annoyingly loud under load.
4GB, 512-bit GDDR5 memory and supposed 2816 stream processors/48 ROPs (7970 has 2048sp/32 ROPs) means this card is going to be a beast.

finally my 6850 can retire and my new build can be 100% completed, hoping this line of cards would be either cheaper than GTX 7xx or perform better. Can't wait!

If anything, NVIDIA will probably have to lower the prices of their cards a bit if these take off. $400-450 for a GTX 770 is a rip when you can get a heavily discounted Radeon HD 7950 for as low as $200-230 and have comparable performance. TITAN was always a bad buy at $999, and the GTX 780 at $650 made the TITAN early adopters look rather silly.

Enthusiasts.
Some people enjoy seeing cutting edge tech. In most cases, you want a nice, but cheap video card for your PC build, because gaming is your hobby. But these people, the PC build is their hobby.

Or nVIDIA will finally stop releasing weaker cards just to keep in line with AMD and finally get their actual cards onto the market. Either way competition will be good for us, I wouldn't mind picking up a 770 around 300 :D

Exactly. I am an enthusiast myself (not a benchmark or LN2 overclocking whore) and I own quite a few performance computers that I use for distributed computing purposes (Folding@Home and World Community Grid contributions). These expensive video cards can get a ton of research done and with just a few cards versus buying all small cards which also lose a lot of their resale value almost right away. Just one of these cards could easily replace four GTX 480s for Folding@Home yet use the same amount of energy as one card. It's amazing how far computers have advanced in the last 15 years, from Google running their first rack with like 40 Pentium II 300MHz CPUs to current laptops that could destroy said rack performance-wise.

NVIDIA's biggest chip (GK110 a.k.a. GTX 780/TITAN and originally Tesla) is going to be trading blows with this, so it took AMD up until now to have an answer for GTX 780/TITAN, but NVIDIA doesn't seem to have anything new in the pipeline so this could get interesting. NV simply rebranded the 600 series for the non-GK110 cards, and I'm curious what AMD will do with the rest of the Rx 2xx series if they will re-brand existing 7xxx cards or if they have new GCN 2.0 parts for us.

I got a Asus DirectCU GTX 780 for 650, I think I'm set for graphics for a while.

The official AMD event was today, so now we have some more details about the product stack. Looks like AMD might be re-branding the current products like NVIDIA did, and the new chip competes with NVIDIA's big chip on the 780/TITAN.

Driver arguments are always funny to me. If you are too wrapped up in brand names to realize that both companies have driver problems every week, you're blind.
