edit: just for the ones that don't know....This is not really a 7870. Its a Tahiti gpu, so basically a crippled 7950

Just bought one.

Good deal. You could easily get $50 for the 2 games, if you aren't interested in them, bringing the total cost down to $159.

i know, insanely good value. where is the best place to sell the games?

 

[Ancalagon44]

Pity the power consumption is so damn high.

 

[Corporate Thug]

I'm using the sapphire 7870XT...definitely the price/performance champion IMO.

Our own For Sale/For Trade forum, of course.

I'm interested in the Tomb Raider code if you're selling.

 

[BoFox]

Or Ebay, I guess?

 

[lazarus000]

anyway to un-cripple it?

 

[anne704]

Good deal. Now sold out. A pity.

You aren't alone. I already have an extra 480 and two 6770 cards sitting unopened from 'deals I couldn't pass up'.

I rationalize that the power draw is significant when compared to a typical 7870 or 7950.

 

[brianmanahan]

how many fps does this play myst at?

yes but the value draw is also significant when compared to a typical 7870 or 7950

ugh, yeah...cuz it's a faster card and all.

 

[BlueWeasel]

Back in stock.

Myst is hard coded to run at one frame per mouse click.

 

[AustinInDallas]

Back in stock!

 

[RaistlinZ]

Two of these in CrossFire for $417.00 would be beastly.

 

[a15g]

Buy the card, sell the games and call it a day. This card is well worth it. When I had my rig with my old gtx 560, they were out of stock on these.

Too bad I can't stick one of these into my lappy..

 

[Darkrage]

Tempted to get this to replace my 570gtx in my back up machine.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

That cooler looks really inefficient, might cripple overclocking on that card.

 

[videogames101]
