HD 7770: $139

Just looked up the prices in UK and there does seem to be a discount on the current offering now, but no mention of the other free games so I guess they are selling off the older SKU before stocking the newer ones.

not sure whether I should get a Saphhire 7950 OC for £315 ($500), since its about £30 saving off the previous price...

just sucks how much worse the pricing here is than in the US frown.gif If only I could somehow cheaply get one sent over from US

Remember that in the US sales taxes aren't included in the listed price whereas in Europe the VAT generally is. Here in New York a $400 7950 in reality costs $435 (unless it comes from Newegg bc they don't charge sales tax <333)

Hmm,

I guess it would only save about ~£50 then, and with shipping from US prob even less...maybe i'll consider that £300 7950 after all then....

never bought a graphics card over £100 before, not sure if this is wise (£300) confused.gif lol

The 670 is going to compete with the 7950, not the 7970.

Ye in price but not performance thumb.gif
The 680 is already ahead of the 7970 by a good bit the 670 will probally be on par with the 7970 like last generation of gpus. 570 =6970 then there was no performer on the red team that equaled the 580.
