I do agree that their prices are competitive at $350 and less.

There are also quite a few games that would be unplayable at 2560x1400 on a 7970 especially if you're like me and enjoy using SSAA.

It still remains to be seen if AMD hits the nail right on the head with a microstutter fix on their first try. I wouldn't bet on it. I hope that they do but I wouldn't make a decision expecting it. I still say 7950 crossfire is a hell of a deal even now. On a 60hz display that'll push framerates high enough to use a cap in the vast majority of games.
Well AMD has switched places with Nvidia so to speak, it went from Nvidia being power efficient and small (G80/G92) to AMD being the smaller die efficiency leader, and right now Nvidia has the ability to do both because of their Tesla line... I don't think it makes excellent economical sense to try to fight the Titan, but from a "brand image" point evidently the halo card really matters.

The microstutter drivers fix the problems in any major game, at the cost of maybe 5-10% performance. No runts, no "dropped" frames (PS: FCAT is measure dropped frames wrong on AMD cards, it's not accurate...). Don't know why it isn't released though given it's current state.
