There is Tax on amazon for CA, but I'm pretty f***ing tempted to buy this card. I really want to wait for the 8000 series, but this is a killer deal even at $350

The 7970 is a solid card. I would be a little leary of a stock cooler like this, because of the heat and noise, but it's hard to argue the performance. If you are playing at 1080p, you will...

I owned a 5850, and replaced it with an EVGA 670 FTW. It's debatable which is the better card. Personally I think the 7970 > 670 > 7950. Ultimately the games you play, whether you OC or not, and...

I think I will do a clean removal of all drivers and all of Borderlands' dependencies, but I'm not sure that 12.6 supported the 7xxx series? Do you have the 7970 or the 6950?

Yes - this is the 680's AMD equivalent.
For higher resolutions the 7970 is even more preferable due to its additional ram (3GB) and its higher overclocking headroom when compared to the 680.
