I'd keep the 7970 if I already bought one, it's those silly 7950's that I'd be unloading ASAP before their price drops out.
Ppl is actually willing to lose ~150$ per card to pick another that averages 10% better performance and won't change their gameplay at all.

Have the 7XXX cards not been living up to expectations? Seems like there are a lot of reports of high temps and not too great OCing.

Don`t expect any major price drops anytime soon and AMD would be silly to drop prices when nVidia have nothing on the table.
It’s funny how people keep saying “price drops are coming”, what nVidia did was retarded, they have nothing close to the amount of chips needed for a launch and AMD is barley coping from the looks of it also.

I can't decide if i should do that or not. I've got about a week left on the RMA, but is it worth trading out a 7950 for a 680 for casual gaming?
I mostly bought it for a four monitor setup, and gaming on a 60hz monitor with Vsync on whenever possible, where i thought the higher frame buffer and memory bandwidth would come in handy. It's already factory overclocked too, so i don't know weather or not the $450 i paid for it is worth RMA + restocking for the 680 performance edge.
Did you actually read it?
AMD and Nvidia have a common issue, Nvidia is just being outspoken about it.
What this slide states we cant even call it a suggestion is that smaller processes no longer improve yields by leading to a greater number of chips per wafer. Instead, the complexities and difficulties of manufacturing at the new process create a cost structure that provides precious little incentive to manufacture at the new process.
