Damn MIRs.

Ya I was just looking at that deal earlier today. The problem is that that cooler is CRAP compared to a dual/triple fan cooler, or even reference. I would rather pay the extra $30 to get a card that can handle the heat. If they had those Gigabyte 7950s for that price, I would be all over that like white on rice. In the mean time, I'll pass.

a compilation:

msi 7770, $80 after rebate, comes with Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, and 3d Mark

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127687

My guess is if you're lazy and want to get rid of the games really fast, then you could get $10 for 'em.  With a little more effort, up to $20.   So maybe $65 (if you also take the effort to do the MIR).

powercolor 7790, $115 after rebate, comes with Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Bioshock & Tomb Raider

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131490

These should be easier to sell.  $15 would go instantly, $20 should be somewhat easy.  $25 may be possible.  I'll call it $95-$100..

XFX Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition 860MHZ 1GB 4.8GHZ GDDR DVI HDMI 2XMINIDP PCI-E Video Card, $139.99 after $20 mail-in rebate

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=77797&vpn=FX-785A-ZNL4&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1281

also comes with the games.  Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, FC3 Blood Dragon...  same deal, $20'ish.  so about $120 for that card...

or, XFX Double D FX-785A-ZDF4 Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card, $144.99 after $25 MIR.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150656

comes with same games as other... about $125...  I think I'd take this one though, unless you live in an area where you have to pay taxes to newegg and maybe not to ncix.

7870, nothing really spectacular here atm...  I guess the best card may be:

Powercolor Radeon HD 7870 PCS+ MYST.(TAHITI LE) 2GB 6Gbps GDDR5 DVI HDMI 2XMINIDP PCI-E Video Card, $209 after MIR

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=78372&vpn=AX7870%202GBD5-2DHPPV3E&manufacture=PowerColor&promoid=1281

just because it's the tahiti LE edition..  comes with the extra game (Crysis), so $20 easy, $25-$30 possible.  takes it down to around $185

7950 (best deal, I think),

Powercolor Radeon HD7950 850 MHz 3GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI Mini DPX2 PCI-E2.1 Video Card, $249.99 after MIR

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=79989&vpn=AX7950%203GBD5-2DHV4&manufacture=PowerColor&promoid=1281

comes with all 4 games, so around $225'ish after that.

i bought one of these.

7970,

Powercolor Radeon HD 7970 925MHZ 3GB 5.5GBPS GDDR5 V3 DVI HDMI 2XMINIDP PCI-E Video Card, $329.99 after MIR

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=70111&vpn=AX7970%203GBD5-2DHV3&manufacture=PowerColor&promoid=1281

comes with all 4 games, takes it to about $305.

i think these will fall quicker than the rest, probably worth picking up in a month or so
