MSI R7970 TF 3GD5/OC BE Radeon HD 7970 3GB Twin Frozr OC Boost Edition - $299.99 after $20 MIR (ends August 31st).
This card has identical GPU boost clock of 1050mhz as 7970GE cards, with memory slightly underclocked from 6000mhz to 5500mhz.
Here is a review. At stock speeds it beat the MSI GTX680 Lightning in every game tested. The reviewer was able to overclock it to 1200mhz GPU / 7200mhz memory and temperatures still remained at 71*C at load.
At TechReport, HD7970GE delivered 99th percentile frame times that are at least as good as the 770.

This is essentially GTX770 2-4GB level of performance for $100-150 less with 3 free game vouchers that can be banked 'till Dec 31st.
