If the rumored launch date is true, it would not be "smart shopping" to buy a 7970 now. Reviews of upcoming NV parts are supposedly upcoming, can't hurt to wait a week or two to see what the better buy is for your needs.

If it's still the 7970, you'll only have missed out on a couple weeks. If the upcoming NV card is the better part, you'll be able to buy that or get a 7970 for less.
