Confirming our rumor posted last week, AMD has officially announced lower prices for their HD 7970, HD 7950 and HD 7770. They’ve also added new new game promotion which adds three free titles alongside a DLC. Starting tomorrow you’ll find the following prices on AMD’s cards:

HD 7970: $479

HD 7950: $399

HD 7770: $139

I know a thread like this was posted, but this is confirmed so maybe warrants another thread?

I don't think the 7970 is worth less than the GTX 680 but hey... Sweet prices are to come.

Bout time, you can't be slower AND more expensive. They'll always have a market with the penny pinchers, may as well just embrace it. All their inflated prices did was have nVidia increase their own, since their mainstream chip outperformed their top end. Lose/lose for consumers.

It isn't unusual for nVidia to price their top-end cards way up there so it's a little unfair to say AMD was to blame for it.

Regarding speed... We all know at stock clocks the GTX 680 is faster but things are not so peachy once both are overclocked.

7770 finally makes sense. 7950 is more appealing, nice job AMD.

Awesome free game deal.

[HWC] AMD Confirms Price Drop on HD 7970, HD 7950 & HD 7770, Adds "3 For Free" Game Promo

These popped up on my radar on Amazon for the stupid low price and I got two for work. One was definitely for the shipping station's computer. Other one? Well 1st was so cheap!! I might go find...

Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...
