Today's graphics cards are already epic powerful, but more power won't hurt. :P

I'll go for the second line performance card, $500 is too expensive - but its also been over a year since the 6 series came out!

That'll be an interesting one. It's a volume seller for AMD, and mainly, the bread and butter card.
