The lowest HD 7950 price at newegg is USD 350. Obviously rebates cannot be factored in because many users have complained that they do not get rebates as promised.

I think its clear that you have overreacted. So review the Powercolor HD 7950 with Boost state as the SKU must have been binned to boost to 925 Mhz properly. Flashing the HD 7950 Boost BIOS on old HD 7950s results in the card working at 850 Mhz and not boosting properly to 925 Mhz. I have no doubt that a HD 7950 (925 Mhz) is faster than GTX 660 Ti. And the gap increases when you factor in overclocking with voltage tweaking. HD 7950 users on OCN are easily running at 1100 - 1150 Mhz with a bit of voltage tweaking. At those speeds the HD 7950 performs like a HD 7970 Ghz. You can see the user reviews at newegg of cards like Sapphire HD 7950 950 Mhz edition. User reviews of this card are a good confirmation of what I have said here.
