This is my dilemma now... buy a 6990 now or wait a few months for the 7 series? This would be my normal PC as well, so not just mining. Since 6990 cards are still very expensive with no sign of them getting any cheaper - i'd hate to part with that kinda cash and find out the 7 series is out a month later. I'm also wondering what kind of hash rate the top 7 series card will do.. 1k, 1.4k? hmmm!
