7870 Myst edition (better than other 7870s)

Directron have the 7870s MYST EDITION for $239.99, no tax for most, plus 10 bucks shipping for me.
UGH, forgot to add price on title.

EDIT: Damnit, this is an okay deal I guess, I just saw the price on newegg, $239 but with $20 dollar rebate.

These are not your normal 7870's, these are Tahiti based, so theyre like 7950's, but less shader units, but higher clocked than the default 7950s.

7950s little brother you could say, their performance is on par with 660ti's and 7950's if we're going by DEFAULT clocks.

So 660ti performance for $239? whys the hells not?

Not loud at all. Had it on the test bench in open air about 2 feet from my head and couldn't hear it.
