I may be a bit of a cynic, but I'd await conformation in various forums before deciding... a lot less going on behind the scenes.

People on the whole are more critical about hardware they pay for that those who are paid to review hardware.

I'll just say that there is cause to doubt the veracity of any of the larger review sites... Given the gap between the cards and the games that use them as well as how fast card prices fall... one loses nothing but ego satisfaction by waiting until the current best and brightest falls a step behind.

I tend to keep mine until it actually suffers in game play. OK! OK! until I can pretend it actually suffers in game play":O}
