This year is pretty much written off for AMD at the high end.

However, if they can do a good job with their frame metering drivers, they can limp along by undercutting NV on pricing as they have been doing with intel in the CPU market.

They really should run with my closed loop cooler Platinum Edition card. You heard me AMD- it's time to resurrect the Phantom Edition name, and put out a water cooled out of the box 7970.

a. Gets people talking about your products again.
b. 10% more performance on the GHz Edition puts it at least in consideration with the 780. Currently anyone willing to spend over $500 only has NV choices.

And while you're at it AMD- put that closed loop on the 7990 and make it more competitive. Or throw in an FX8350 with the 7990 and keep selling it for $1000.. As they sell FX8350s for $200, and two GHZ 7970s for ~$800, that combo should still be profitable to sell.
