Is now the time to buy a new card with AMDS new never settle deal where you can pick three games from now until the end of the year. btw I have a 550ti in my machine right now.

Yeah, mate. No need to upgrade. You always gotta test a new graphics card on new games Just hold out until then.

well if I was to do it today the 7970 would be in my price range.

Then get one, they are on great discounts now and won't go any cheaper, also the new 9950 will be $400+ which is more expensive and if you wait then a thing might happen that these 7000 series cards will stop being manufactured and get sold out. That would surely be after October 25th tough. Anyway, there is no point in waiting for you, unless you want to spend more than $400.
