    @JPM - so what is the target price for the only "new" GPU - the 290X which we haven't seen yet? For the money, do you think it will be worth it over a used-price on a 7970 - I mean as far as cost per credits ratio?

    Cost/credit i think even a brand new 7970GE would beat a 290X. You'll be able to buy 2 7970GEs for the price of 1 R9 290X which will be around $600-$650. If the 7970GEs are used, you might even get 3 for that.

    I have 3 7970s and 1 7950 running. (and 5870, 6950, 3 Nvidias )
    All cards are slightly overclocked and the first thing I do is resetting them to standard clocks with MSI Afterburner.
    The older ones tend to get hot rams after years of using so I decrease the Ram speed.
    They are 24/7 working and thats the best way to keep them alive.
