Mixed reviews on the card but it is including Crysis 3. I bit on this and have had good results with Sapphire. Hope this card is decent sidegrade to 2 5850s crossfire 1 gig cards.
Going to put 1 5850 in living room computer and sell other.

I'm running this card in a system that used to have 5850 Crossfire. Honestly, in everything but synthetics, it's a bit slower.

tempted to buy this just because of the free games....

edit: f*ck CA taxes $220 after tax, including promo

You have got to be joking.

What surprises you about this?

You'd need a 7950 to beat HD5850 Crossfire.

Back on topic, this is an awesome deal. Note that you get four free games with this card.

Keep in mind that AMD skipped a generation performance-wise, so it shouldn't be surprising that two 5870s are better or similar to a 7870.

5870 = 6870 < 7870, more or less
