So I've definitely been doing some searching around as I'm considering a second card to sli with my 7870 and I came across this gem.

Apparently this is a 7870 XT, which is based on Tahiti and not Pitcairn. It's essentially a Radeon 7930. If you look up benchmarks for this you'll find that this actually falls in between a 7870 and a 7950. I didn't even know this model existed till I found it on Newegg.
A review I found with some googling: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5120/p ... index.html
So this is a 7930 with a $140 price tag. Almost a better steal then the $90 7850. I'm still holding off as I suspect there will be just as good deals during black friday if not better.
Looking at hotdeals, it appears Dpete posted this card already, but it's on sale again: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=90015
