Well, if you don't like the games, grab the 670 and save yourself 60 bucks to put toward a game you'll enjoy thumb.gif

Don't buy a reference 7950, non-reference is the way to go. Get something like this ......... Sapphire HD7950 3GB

I'm not bias either way. Get the 7950 and your 3 games. Be happy about it, and don't let folks drag you into a red vs green team fight.
