  Decent value for a 7870 Ghz Ed.

  Obligatory "some of the bundled games might take 2 months to get the steam key" warning.

    This has been the same price on Pccasegear for a few weeks now.

    I think they have a better reputation than mwave when it comes to returns etc.

    EDIT- Shipping to Darwin/NT is cheaper with Pccasegear not sure of other states

  Just a heads up that AMD have moved all the old Never Settle redemption codes onto Radeon Rewards. You get to choose 3 games from the gold tier (including Saints Row IV), but Bioshock Infinite is out of keys.

  Two of these in crossfire vs 280x?
  Would come out to about the same price as most 280x/7970s

    More power, space, noise, heat. Need more expensive Motherboard/PSU.

    Then you have crossfire driver frame issues.

    On paper, yes, two mid-range GPU's are the most bang-for-your-buck solution (often being $200 to 300 dollars cheaper than the equivalent, higher-end, single card counter-part) and in theoretical benchmarks/raw computational figures two mid-range GPU's usually outperform the highest tier card available within that generation; but in real-world gaming performance, you don't get such exponential scaling simply because most games are criminally underoptimised for multi-GPU setups, and both NVidia and AMD don't spend enough time creating adequately-tuned SLI/CF profiles.

    Heat, noise, and wattage requirements (GPU wattages are vastly overstated by both manufacturers and consumers) have never really been an issue for me running SLI but micro-stuttering certainly has; though it may lessened with the latest generation of cards and PCI-E 3.0.

  Geez i paid $229 each from PCCG for the Powercolor HD7870 Myst Edition a few months ago. These HD7870 cards haven't come down much in price since.

    Nope, unfortunately this part of the market has stalled. The cards you bought were the best deal we have had all year (in my opinion).

    Hoping that an R9-280 (not X) might fix this.

  I think the 7950 is probably worth the extra $50:

  Call them to confirm you get the game bundle, though.
