Hey everyone, I'm looking through reviews trying to find a good card in this price range. I have a 2560x1600 screen, and I would like to play games at medium-ish settings. Mostly I play things like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Minecraft, etc. I do play some Far Cry 3 but that game runs like crap even when I had a 690 and I had to play on DX9 medium just to get a decent playable frame rate, so I'm not worried about it.

Obviously the big contenders are the GTX 660, HD 7850, and the 7870 on sale. Maybe a used 7950. I am leaning towards AMD because of the free games bundle.

Its kind of hard to track down a card for this res/price because nobody reviews at less than the highest playable settings. Any input would be great.
 
i'm really looking at the powercolor 7870 myst (Tahiti LE) card for 215 after MIR at ncix right now. After the free games, it is sooo tempting. If u plan on buying those games anyway, i don't think anything will beat that price.
 
I forgot to put one key thing, it has to be able to have a full cover block, and as far as I know the 7930/ Tahiti LE etc won't have any.
