AMD Radeon HD 7970 released

I found this, looks like AMD is taking the lead, lets see what local pricing is going to be, I think around R8000+

This has been discussed in length already xD
You're price is way off...expect it to sell for around R5500 for a top tier brand.

Edit: Actual date of release is the 9th of January 2012

There are some international online shops that do have stock of Sapphire and MSI cards but at jacked up prices, roughly $100 more than the cards were advertised at from AMD, although its not exactly shocking since that's what happens whenever awesome new hardware gets launched..Always a few bad apples that jack the prices for the uber die hard fans of new hardware.
