I was looking at this lol. Price is lame :(

Provantage is a very good retailer. I use them often. The price will come down when they are actually released. If someone wants to waste money and pre-order it's on them.

Many websites will show a stock picture until an actual picture is available.

I've used them with no problems. Still get the magazine lol for the past 4 years

i have used them myself pretty good company if i do say so. :)

Pricing fail

Im guessing that is a pretty inflated price for preorder. Not sure how much these are for sure, But I am betting around $400-$450 MSRP.

Yeah, they listed 7970's before the January 9th at an inflated price as well. I guess you're paying for the "special" order. heh.

Maybe its because I have never used them :( I try to stick with newegg and places I know have good service. If I catch something on sale from them then I will test the waters.

Very HIGH pricepoint !!!!

stefanelsVery HIGH pricepoint !!!!

Not for the one who will be the first kid on the block... and it won't be me! LOL

Too expensive...

If you look at the Doninhamber performance of the 7950 overclocked vs. the 7970, assuming all of their numbers are correct, based on $450 and $550 price points for the two cards respectively, you're looking at a 15-18% better bang for your buck for the overclocked 7950 vs. a stock 7970. Stock you ask? 10-15%. If you're thinking HD 7900 series and you want more bang for your buck, 7950's for you. Not that we couldn't infer that the top-end card would demand more money for simply being the best, but it's nice to see the numbers back it up.

The price of this card is too damn high!

a cheese danish

ftfy Jimmy.

subtract a $ bill off the price! Then the price will be more realistic.

but the 7970 OCs like a best as well so at then end the 7950 isn't that much better

erockerMany websites will show a stock picture until an actual picture is available.

Umm, that's called false advertising, mmkay. A stock image would be something like "No Image Available" like most sensible sites :)

brandonwh64the vender is lame....

+1

i`m happy with my cf of 2x 6950@ 6970 :)
but i`ve bought sapphire 7970 and now i don`t know what for :confused:

Provantage ... no good luck...overpriced and they don't hold stock an hardly anything...
Special order means 3mo. back ordered. :mad:

Last time I made an order that was "in stock" I canceled after 3mo of waiting.


I am curious what an after release price looks like from other resellers.

n-sterbut the 7970 OCs like a best as well so at then end the 7950 isn't that much better

That's why I included stock numbers. It's still about a 10% better value for the money. The source I used didn't have 7970 OC numbers, so I didn't include that, and of course OC's will vary.
