So bought these used on the local classified ads from 2 different people a week and a half apart one for 250 one for 260 that's Canadian so around 190 and 200 american but it wasn't until I put them side by side I noticed this fun thing.

I now must find 140701070024 for a triple crossfire setup to reunite these cards with there lost brother for ultimate performance.

First thought: Nuclear reactor? That lucky SOB.

Second though: Oh, an AMD part.

I thought it was another mindless nbot working overtime when I first saw the title. That's an impressive coincidence if I ever saw one.

I'll put it this way, taking into consideration the currency conversion and the cost of shipping, it would have been over $100 cheaper buying off Amazon.

call me dumb but newegg has always done right by me, and i took regular shipping and got it next day (i love it when they use purolator). yeah i could have saved me some money by going on amazon but yeah. customer service is a big selling point for me. either way, i'm happy with my rig, may have paid a bit more but meh.
