This is an insane deal, and if you're looking for a 7970, it's the best deal that I can find!

Newegg has good deals a lot of the time.

[Drown]

That's a very nice deal, with the 9xxx serie coming up, many 7970 are on sale atm =P

I'll probably end up playing only one of the game, but eh I'm buying for the card not the games 

[M-ursu]

Nice!

For Christmas I may pick up a second 7950 and have a crossfire set up. I can't wait to see what the prices are, being 7950s are going for 240ish atm

I got a 7970 today, having had 2 x 560 in SLI, 

 

Really didn't know you AMD guys had it so bad with drivers, performance in quite a few games (assassins creed brotherhood, Fifa 13, Skyrim with AA on, just cause with AA on) i've noticed today while testing is poor at best.

 

I am using the latest beta, just hope they sort the drivers out soon, or its £260 wasted.

 

If you have a 560, 570, 650 or 660, my advice would be pick another up instead of any AMD card.

I have 2 580's and I am dissapointed in sli performance. I would rather have 1 strong card such as a 780/7970 ghz

2 580 will out perform a 7970, my 2 overclocked 560's where very close on the benchmarks i have done so far....

 

I may put the results up later

[beebskadoo]

2 580 will out perform a 7970, 

In theory, but the drivers aren't the greatest for some games.

Wait to you see how bad these amd drivers are on a single card, I'm already thinking of putting my 560's back in..

You must be doing something wrong... A friend of mine has a 7970 and he loves it.

Probably didn't uninstall the nVidia driver properly.

I know dat feel bros...

Tried a few more games, and the card is performing well, still frame timing issues with Assassins creed brotherhood, fifa 13 and GTA4 though...

[Hyydrah]

Well that's why it's so cheap

 

If you could find a compatible backplate for it though, it would be ideal

Looks like a refference PCB. You could probably throw one of these on it.

I call BS Frame timing issues are only present with more than one card. and they fixed a lot of it with the newest drivers. So....yeah

[Blade of Grass]

Don't care how cheap it is, it has that ugly ass blue PCB. That will not be in my rig.

[Raboo]

WOW good deal.
