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.
