So I bought a XFX 7950 today from NCIX in store for $219CAD - $30 mail rebate ($189) after they sold out online. I was able to convince them to give it to me for that price since it was their last one on hand. Now I see that I have one sitting in my cart that I added last night which reserves the price for 24hr. Should I buy a second one for that price, is it worth it?

I wouldn't do it because heard that these series of XFX coolers aren't that good. Would add $20 and get this instead: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=84902&vpn=AX7950%203GBD5-2DHV5E&manufacture=PowerColor&promoid=1313

PowerColor is a mediocre manufacture and I would never recommend any of their cards.

I've heard the same, but oddly not from anyone who actually owns one.  They have a lifetime guarantee, so as long as their CS is good I'd do it.

my xfx 6950 is at least 2x quieter than my msi twinfrzr 6950. no problem there go for it.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

I know for a fact that current exchange rates I would break even at best, remember, I'm in Canada.
