    New leaks suggest a launch this year, rumored HD8970 is 30% faster than the HD7970.

    I'm also still rolling with a 5770. Motherboard went south a while back, taking the CPU with it, so got an Intel i3 3220. I can play most games at 1920x1080 with high settings as long as I go light (or stay away from) anisotropic filtering and antialiasing. As a matter of fact, older games like Resident Evil 5 and Half Life 2 episodes I can play in 3D with benchmarks still above 40fps.
    Full disclosure: I have to admit that I haven't played any recent AAA titles since I'm trying to make inroads into my steam library.

    5850 here. I'm still incredibly pleased with the card's performance, and I'm sure it'll hold me over until this time next year when I plan on upgrading my system.

    But the 5770 is still handling everything I throw at it, be it older titles. Alan Wake it ran with everything full blast. Dead Space 2 is on highest everything. LA Noire is on high settings. It really is the little card that could.
