Is this a good deal??? What do you all think? I'm upgrading from 7970.

I see plenty at $120 cheaper than that. Ah not new.

I see pricespy has various models from $580-750. If it's from a reputable retailer, it's probably not bad value. I'd personally rather have an nvidia card.

The problem with the reference ones is that they are quite loud and it wouldn't be a huge improvement over your 7970

I have been wondering about upgrading my GTX 780 but I can't see anything worth upgrading to and look at how much power the Titans use, my God!
