Oh I see how my post was confusing. It went up to $239 again and then came back down to $209 the next day (yesterday the 11th) so I did pull the trigger, thus the "apology" to Callaway for not buying the 3-wood.

Sorry, Callaway! :p Thx for all the helps!

Yeah, my finger is on the trigger. It was between that and a new Callaway 3-wood but golf season is about over here, so. . . plus if that card is really worth $99 in games and I sell my 570 for a little over $100, it's virtually a "free" upgrade. That card bounced back to $239 last night...

From what I'm reading, you'll probably need more than a 7950 or GTX 660 for 2560x1440 if you want to push the settings. I'll probably be at 1920x1080 a while longer.

Ahhhhh. Newegg has a couple R9 270x's for sale now, one by MSI for $229 and another by Gigabyte for $209. 2GB, clocks ~ 1150.

Yeah I'll never trust their little marked down price again. They have R9 & R7's listed but they only say COMING SOON. [Note: I think the one I was looking at had only been hiked up to $239; it was the flex and Vapor-X versions that were $279. Now, just a few hours later, the vanilla one has...

Am I on crack or did Newegg substantially raise the prices on the 7950's I linked two days ago? The 3GB 7950 that was $219 with free games and a rebate is now $279 ??? :confused: (and they claim it's dropped from over $300)

The 4 gig R9 270 sounds tempting if it comes at $220-ish, but so does Maxwell.

Wow are prices falling already? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600100181%20600286767%20600286739&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20HD%207950 3GB Sapphire 7950 for $219 w/ rebate and some freebies?

Non-starter for Sandy Bridge because it's soldered. :(

I'm not a fanboy either way, maybe owned slightly more ATi/AMD than nVidia, but not by much. Hey, how hard was it to remove the IHS on that 3770K?

$130-150 is what I've seen on the trader sub-forum here. Thx for the input. I'm not in any hurry.

I'm sorta outa the vidcard loop; the 570 has been pretty good to me. I can probably buy a used one for 150-ish and SLI. Is there something in the $250 range that would be better? I'm also thinking my three year old 60GB SSD boot drive is the weak link in my system atm.

These still available? (see no activity for a couple weeks)
