What are the expected performances from the Southern Islands series?
Kepler won't be out until Q1 2012. 28nm Southern Islands is right around the corner.No love for keplar?
Wait!
I think it would be dumb to purchase a $300-500 dollar card right now with AMD's next gen supposedly only a few months away...
There is ALWAYS something supposedly only a few months away, waiting is pointless when it comes to PC hardware. Buy something now so you can enjoy it.
But one thing is for certain, going from 40nm to 28nm is going to result in a significant performance increase. Could be the biggest step in a long long while, but we will have to wait how big.
I must admit -- I've been researching the hell outta stuff, and my GTX280 is getting pretty long in the tooth.
Just built an i5-2500k system for an incredible price - running 4.2GHz on air, all I need to complete it is a shiny new gfx card.
Really wanting something badass right around the time Battlefield 3 comes out, I'm a huge fan of nVidia and CUDA, but it looks to be that ATI will be the first out of the gate with the next-gen cards. Such a conundrum!
Do I buy a "good" card now for 300 dollars, do I wait a few months and spend 400 or so on the bleeding edge ATI 28nm stuff? Or do I wait upwards of 6-8 more months for nvidia to roll out their 600 series?
Money is an issue - its possible to spend 400 but only with about 4 months of saving.
As much as I hate not having a plan -- seems the best thing to do is just continue to enjoy my GTX280 in Black Ops (1920x1280) and try not to think about any of this till september or october as we get closer to Battlefield 3

Let's see... Your architecture is like ancient, and you are giving advice to the guy to spend money now and get the latest?

As we are maybe 2 months away from AMDs next generation, it might be a good idea to not buy anything more expensive than a 6950. The prices of 6970/570/580 are probably going to suffer most from the introduction of the new 7000(?) series cards.
A single 6950 will perform great at 1920x1200 and ok at 2560x1600.
Next gen isn't for another 6 months. At least

AMD next gen is Q4 2011. So no, not 6 months away.
