I did my research and AMD was going to release starting 2013, 2 graphics card: One for 200$ that can make the same fps as GTX 670 and 300$ for another Radeon that has the same power as GTX680 this were the new ones with smaller chip size I think was 22mm? the 8th series 8850 and 8870. And those were goin to be mainstream and the powerfull I have no idea but it has a lot of power I am talkin about 8950-8970 and 8990?
Anyways it got super delay and is goin to come at third or fourth quarter of 2013 Now that's when AMD goes cheap and powerfull date, that's when you make a gaming pc Nvidia? no idea about them but would see how they goin to fight back. So for the end of 2014 Now that's goin to be some nice cheap prizes for some video cards out there that they are mega! expensive.

Radeon HD 8870 will be as fast as Nvidia's GeForce GTX 680. Based on AMD's Oland XT GPU, the 8870 boasts 3.4 billion transistors (up from 2.8 billion found in the 7870), a 1050MHz base clockspeed, 1100MHz boost clockspeed, and 25 percent better memory bandwidth (192GB/s) compared to the 7870. The card will carry an MSRP of $279.
AMD's Radeon HD 8850 is based on Oland Pro and has the same number of transistors and memory bandwidth as the 8870, but slower clockspeeds (925MHz base and 975MHz boost). It will sell for $199 (MSRP). It will be comparable to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 670 part.
Now you have the date
