That's a good price for me. Reviews say the large fan cools the card very well. I ordered a XFX OCed 7770 from Newegg at 169.99 last Sunday. I would have chose this card istead. Too bad as far as I know Newegg charges restocking fee even if my XFX card is not opened (in fact I haven't received the shipment).

two radeon 7770 can almost match the 7950 so it will definitely beat the 7850 assuming the game supports crossfire but remember, 1 rebate per household. All radeon cards support 3 monitor eyefinity.

Just a heads up, you can reject packaging when UPS goes to drop it off. In this case you never received packaging so they will ship it back to Newegg and they will refund the full amount. I actually went on Newegg’s website and did an online chat with one of their representatives and she informed me to do it this way. (I did this with a computer case I recently purchased)
Hope this helps, and remember this is only if you haven't received the package.

Most sellers incl. Amazon work this way. Even if you receive it, most will take it back if you don't open the outside box. UPS will take it back as RTS. YMMV of course.
Good deal OP. Thanks Look @ the fan on this thing!

Guys thanks for the info. Because of the larger fan, this Gigabyte card is half inch taller than a reference card. So it won't fit in my small form factor PC case. So I accepted the package of XFX 7770. I am surprised these OCed 7770s work really good. I can run Skyrim (Ultra 2560*1440) at an average of 35FPS. Considering their low power consumption, I have to say they are perfect for small PCs.

Too bad they don't make waterblocks for these cards.

If you have the cash for a decent water loop and blocks for your GPUs (blocks = $$$) then the chance of you buying this card are slim to none... The companies know this and thats why you dont see them. Most of us snorkelers build high end machines that make good use of the water so we can push the high end components even higher.
That said... green for the OP. Great price on this card.
