Price dropped to 199.99 without rebate, could be 179.99 if the old rebate still works. However, it's local pick up only now.

At high resolutions the 7970 very nearly doubles the 7870 fps in popular games.
If you added the fps from all the games at a bunch of resolutions, you would get a much lower result. I agree.

Wendy has 60% more apples.
60% of 10 is 6.
So wendy has 6 more apples, for a total of 16 apples
