As I already have one 6970, this was a no-brainer. If you're a GPGPU person, this is also a good deal. Through the end of the day, free shipping.

Let us know how those older GPU's are doing in Crossfire with newer drivers and newer game patches. I sold my HD6950 2GB cards off (well, one went to a sibling) after the GTX670 came out, as it was theoretically slower but felt at least 50% faster.
Also, glad you snagged a good deal on a great card!

I bought one so I can crossfire with my current card. A single one is still no slouch.

$1100 + shipping & tax, I'd guess.
Titans are $999 each, but actually only $750 thanks to coupons, so $1500 + shipping & tax.
Subtract $400 for the pair of 6970's sold.

I replaced the stock blower cooler on my 6950 with a dual fan Thermalright cooler because of the noise during gaming. I'm still using the card and I run it unlocked and overclocked. It runs everything fine for me.
One quirky experience besides RAGE (lol) has been Crysis 3. Tessellation has corruption and there is some other occasional image corruption. I've found threads of other people with trouble so it's not just me. Maybe drivers and patches have fixed it now though. I haven't played it for months.
But I'm not sure how much AMD works on drivers for preGCN cards anymore. I don't think I'd buy one.
