Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 card

[Salamander]

I'm interested in the Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 card. I've been watching them hoping the price might drop. They've been in and out of stock at NewEgg. Now they are showing as out of stock and as deactivated (may or may not be restocked). This is the case for both the regular one as well as the OC version. Does anyone know what's going on with this card? Is Sapphire discontinuing it?

Probably just releasing a new revision or something.

How much were those Sapphire HD7850 / OC cards going for?

This is one of those rare cases where $50-60 extra gives a massive performance upgrade.

880mhz MSI TwinFrozr III = $325.99 - $10 off with coupon code BIGBEN = $316

Huge bang for the buck once overclocked:

If you can stretch it, well worth it. You can even resell the free games for $20 dropping this to $300.
