Our only concern was availability and that proved to be a problem for Nvidia initially.
Today though, it’s relatively easy to pick one up at ~$400.
Perhaps that’s a job for a potential HD 7950 GHz Edition.

However, by far its biggest win came with DiRT 3 Showdown where the Radeon was 52% faster.
Pros:Same solid graphics quality of the standard Radeon HD 7970.
Top notch performance that matches GeForce’s flagship GTX 680.
Runs hotter, gets louder, and consumes more power than the GTX 680.
Most gamers should look for the Radeon HD 7950 or GeForce GTX 670 instead.
