There is NO demand for the 79xx series. Its overpriced compared to Kepler. Why would anyone even consider buying it?
You're not actually this simple, are you Don? I'm pretty sure you're not.
In order to compare the two, there has to be comparable stock, which EVERYONE knows there is not. Just because Newegg might have 500 slowly selling 7900 cards doesn't mean the cards have less demand than a 600 which cannot be stocked. Yes, 600 is selling faster than they can stock them, but that is to be expected when they trickle in such minute amounts, if at all.
It's simply not comparable until the supply of 600 matches the supply of 7900. As a consumer that's the only way to make the comparison, unless you have insider sales info (which none of you people do).
On top of that, what is with you people thinking AMD needs to sell 7900's dirt cheap? 7970 MSRP is $479, 680 MSRP is $499. 4% more money for on average what, 6% more performance? Price doesn't
need to come down, especially with 3 free games and 1 GHZ edition coming (which should keep same $479 MSRP).
7950 MSRP is $399, and compared to $399 670, 7950 should drop to about $349.
Stop acting like 600's beat 7900's so badly that AMD needs a buy one get one free promo, jeez.
