$209 AC PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 2GBD5-2DHPPV3E Radeon HD 7870 MYST. Edition (Tahiti LE) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 + bioshock & tombraider at Newegg

Quote from choumore : Glad I held out on the NCIX deal. With Newegg, I get 2% cashback and 6.25% return from Cash+, which brings the final cost down to $190.94 with no rebate hassle. Sell the game @ $60 then we are looking at ~$130 for a semi-7950, you can't beat that! Not to mention good CS of newegg and free 2nd day shipping from shoprunner! This is pure AWESOME! Yeah, I am hoping to replace my 4890 CF with this. Wonder how much 4890 CF sells on eBay these days...

I would guess you could get maybe 135 for it? I'm hoping to get like 80 or 85 for my setup.

I am not so sure if its as big of an upgrade for you. I think that performance will be better, but 4890 cf is nothing to shake a stick at. Heck, I'm not a crazy gamer, but I know that my 4850 cf setup was still ok although not great. 4850x2 is still tier 6 or 7 on the toms hierarchy. I know cf doesn't scale QUITE as much as an x2, but its close.

Quote from SiXiam : Both games?

Yea. Buy it now has it for $60 and the most recent auction for it is selling for $41 + 4 shipping with 1 hour to go

It probably will go up a few more dollars before it ends

Quote from dederpes : bummer can i link ebay here? i duno...but yeah im lookin at completed listings and most are around $60.

Yea you can. im looking at them too and the most recent comleted one was $51


Are you sure you are not looking at the crysis bundles? Those go for over $60

Minus all those ebay and paypal fees means maybe $30, ouch!

Oh well in for 1! Great price on a card that is very comparable to the GTX 670.

Quote from alchi : Will this run Myst at 640x480 at high settings?

Yes but not with AA.

well if i had known before hand i would only get 40-50 tops from the game bundle im not sure i woulda bought this

Cancel it then. Though good luck finding a slicker deal!

Been on the lookout for a slickdeal on a good video card and this looks like a pretty good bang for the buck card. In for one...maybe two.

i agree the price point is great but i dont mind spending a little more for future proofing + a quiet card

i thought this price point was something i couldnt walk away from...at $150 its a no brainer. at $220, and then dealing with a sale for potentially 30-40, only brings it down to 180. the 180-240 space is pretty crowded with video card deals, all be it mostly with MIR. according to tomshardware, this card and the 660ti perform about the same and here is a 660 ti deal that was only $180. so it appears this 180 price point is the bottom right now for this tier. i believe i've seen numerous 660ti deals for 220-240

Man after looking up past threads, the 660ti went for $180 after rebate and v.me coupon, which is a killer deal. But that was 2 months ago. No recent deals are as good as this

I sold mine for more than that. However it was last weekend before the market got flooded with them, so who knows.

so is this the only 7870 card available with the Tahiti core at this time? This seems pretty good for a ~7950 with 2 good games included and no damn rebate! I wish the Powercolor warranty was serial based like a few of the other brands so then you could resell with the warranty easily if needed.

Quote from XDecker : I sold mine for more than that. However it was last weekend before the market got flooded with them, so who knows.

I will post a listing for $65 BIN on Sunday, since eBay is handing out free listing for next week. Hopefully it will sell and pocket me maybe $55 after all the fees.

No Sapphire is selling it for $245 AR
