Newegg: HIS IceQ Radeon 7850 2GB = $154.98 AR + Free Game

[SunnyD]

Linky

$189.99 - $40 MIR + $4.99 shipping (Free shipping with shoprunner)

Includes coupon for Farcry 3 + Medal of Honor 20% off as well.

IceQ version is a slightly oddball cooler, a bit bigger, but a good cooler. Should overclock fairly well (YMMV).

 

[Ricochet]

Keep in mind that oddball cooler takes up 3 slots. That's what you get for a cool running overclocker though.

Edit: I may be wrong. I was thinking of the cooler for the 7870

I believe this just dropped another $10, as it is showing $139.99 after rebates. I have been waiting for a 7870 deal, but I'm wondering if it is better to jump on this and just OC it. Arrggghhh.

I've been waiting for a 7950 but might just get this. I own a few eye candy games (haven't even touched metro or crysis2), but most of my time gets spent on less graphically intensive online games (HoN/dota2). Thinking I might be better off jumping on this. 1920x1200 with no intention of going larger any time soon. I don't really have a budget... but I don't want to waste money either.

Thanks Termie. Just dawned on me that the rebate was for both. But now I'm still undecided. $140 vs. $190 is a pretty big gap (ie., it would pay for most of a small/BF-deal SSD). Why can't I just have unlimited funds!

 

[Engineer]

Damn, I need a new card and this would be $128.xx after my 5% Discover bonus and 1% FW cash back. Have not been as much of a fan of ATI (AMD) cards and have used Nvidia for the last few years. Damn, damn, damn...the price is pulling me in..

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Just bought a 670 last week otherwise I'd jump on the 7850. When I mean jump I mean jump. Those will be gone soon IMO.

How does everyone feel that this at $139.99 after rebate compares to the Galaxy 2GB GTX660 for $154.99 after rebate?

The 7850 "LOOKS" like it would be quieter based on the cooler alone, which is a must for me (must be quiet unless being used pretty hard) and the 7850 has the Iron Egg Guarantee so if it's found cheaper up until 12/24/12, you can get an adjustment in price.

You're just being mean Engineer. The 660 looks to be the better deal after all, but it is out of stock

It wasn't when I posted!

 

[winniethepwn]

Sold out.

 

[Engineer]

Back in stock.

Edit: OOS again.

After going back and forth on this (in and out of stock), I purchased it this morning and cancelled right after ordering. I just ordered again (haven't cancelled......yet).

Does AT think I'm going to get a better deal than this + Farcry3 for $139.99 after rebate ($129.19 after cash back)?

Edit: I'm taking the chance that there will be a better (or relatively close Nvidia model) deal so I cancelled. I really hope that I don't regret it.

I think for the price, you cant beat this deal, If it hits 1100 core, which most 7850's do then you have yourself a card that runs over 60FPS at 1080p in most situations.
