    I was about to just post this. If I was getting a new card, it would likely be a radeon 79xx series. The value is simply too good with such a good bundles. It makes me nostalgic when videocards used to come with games rather than just a driver cd and maybe 3dmark.

    The early 7970 adopters got hosed though. They paid 150 dollars more and they didn't get 150 dollars in games.

    Driver improvements look impressive too. A Standard 7970 will likely match a gtx 680 with this and beat it at 2560*1600. Nvidia hasn't got nearly as much out of driver development this generation. At this point, the gtx 680 needs to drop to 400 and throw in a game or two.

    Drivers are for media only.

    Apparently a final beta would be available later today. Funny how VGA vendors are being rejected when asking for these drivers, though
    Where courage, motivation and ignorance meet, a persistent idiot awakens.

    Not sure where you saw 20% off on Steam. The deals are for whichever download service carries them: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news/...raphics-cards/

    So basically that's:

    Hitman / Sleeping Dogs: Steam + any others
    Far Cry 3: Ubisoft U-Play (ugh!)
    MoH Warfighter: Origin

    I mentioned this in our conclusion. I didn't see any differences.

    DO NOT download that. There's a reason why AMD states in their release notes that it shouldn't be distributed (guess Hilbert neglected to read). There are supposedly compatibility issues with the HD 6000 and HD 5000 series cards.

    No. The HD 6000 series could see some optimizations in certain titles.
