Holy crap thats awesome! I picked up a refurbed one a couple of months ago for 300. I shoulda waited.

Good deal. New game deals with AMD cards I guess as the MSI twin frozr is on sale too, $270 after $30 rebate plus gta5 and dirt rally.

The 3 Egg average over 101 reviews is slightly concerning haha.

Very few have been at that price for the last 1-2 months and the deal includes two games. If you don't want the games, yeah its not so great a deal.

I've seen R9 290X version of the Tri-X for not much more than this within the last week or two.

Can't remember if it came with games, though.

Its PowerColor + there is no free game. The game itself costs a lot. So I personally prefer going with Sapphire, although I have one

Huh? It comes with GTAV and Dirt Rally? What do you mean there's no game? I've had Powercolor cards with no issue and you do know they all come out of the same assembly line, right?
