You can PM with Memory Express or maybe other stores to get it for $330 or even less:

Enjoy! I don't know if this deal is Canada only but it's a great price.

i predicted this would happen .. $200 price drop in 3 months since we bought ours
:blush:

And this is a good deal. The "new" HD 7970s cost $150 more and the performance is similar once they are both overclocked

Yep. $330 is a hot price on this card for sure. It's probably a sign of things to come as well. $150 7850s anyone?

Doubtful unless GTX 660 forces a price drop. AMD is blowing out the "old" 7970s to capture marketshare and to block the GTX 670's success.

Well, at the very least I sense a price war looming in the upper midrange and high end markets. It's great for us gamers as it's bringing massive performance for a little over $300. I'm tempted to sell my 7850 so I can get one of these. They're badass cards.

I can't. I did get a promotion at work today though.

That said I've been waiting and waiting to buy a new bed so the computer will have to wait.

By the way, the 7950 is $309 at NCIX right now. Buy buy buy!!!

I will not be going with AMD for my next card no matter how cheap it is.

:shock:

And congrats on the promo. A new bedroom set is overrated.

It's not a set. It's a bed with built in drawers beneath so that we can get rid of both of our dressers. It will completely transform our bedroom into a bigger and more useful space.

Oh and thank-you. I got official confirmation of it today. :)

As for AMD I don't want to deal with their drivers ever again.

That didn't last long :P

Back up to $544 after MiR
-- i wonder if it was a pricing error

And don't ever say "ever". AMD's drivers will probably improve.
