So if it's a simple price/performance issue there are still better options than a 7970.

There are always early adopters of products/cycles. I'm just trying to make the case that I think it's prudent for those where a GPU upgrade is not an immediate issue to wait a month or two for a Kepler release and then look at the 28nm GPU market once the prices start to normalize.
I share essentially the same opinion, I don't really play any games that have been our recently such as BF3 or Skyrim simply because my GTX 470 will struggle at my native res of 2560x1440.

Even so, I see that the 7970 is very overpriced and even though it'll be a good upgrade i want to see what Nvidia bring to the table.

Even if it's only their mid range cards coming out, it should give an indication of how the High end will perform and at what price they'll be intering at.
