of-course it is faster 650ti<7850<660<7870<660ti<7950<670<7970<680<7970GE
but amd IS NOT smooth with crysis 3 even with beta5, it's a fail bundle.!

Crysis 3 plays amazing bud, not sure what issues you are having there. Don't spread FUD to the masses.
Instead take your problems to the driver thread and find a solution. Most people there are reporting great things.

every gamer has his own standards to call something amazing or not.! and i do not just see "what's changed" on driver's release notes and i accept everything amd or nvidia say there...
that trick is not especially working with gurus

If it's good for them then what harm is there, as it's very good for us.
if i go and buy a 7970 lightning this morning, i get Far Cry 3, Sleeping Dogs, Bioshock:Infinite and Crysis 3, if i take two i'll get Hitman as well.
These are among the best games available right now, so yeah i think it's fantastic.
maybe not so for pirates

its not like i admire nvdia(hate them for their dirty politics) or hate amd but just saying the obvious.
amd knows their products arnt good enough so they have to lure customers with free games. they need to improve their diver quality significantly if they want to improve their market share. every financial quarter they sliding.

amd is going well with drivers, since 12.11 beta, now with 13.2 beta 5 are almost perfect in any game...not all but most
they copied nvidia's quality and driver give away, that's a step up for ati radeon after many of years
no more application profiles for crossfire users now only beta or whql drivers with overall changes, newer control center and internal profiles-hotfixes-fixes

Also, who is providing GPU's for the upcoming XBOX and PS4? ATI, that's who. Must be desperate...

Providing hardware for the newest consoles? AMD must be getting desperate, whoring themselves out like a cheap hooker.
As you can see, Nvidia doesn't need to do that, at least they have class.

Nvidia pride themselves on providing GPU's at top of the range prices, like some pimp.
I got Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution with my 7950, amazing deal.

atm i would get a SINGLE 7950 or 7970 over any nvidia GPU. But i'll wait until nvidia 7xx or amd 8xxx, after all, games work fine w this one.

Even if it is desperate what harm is it if they get some profit? i wouldnt want them to go bankrupt so we only have nvidia available on the market. that would suck!
Pretty awesome deal! I hope they will be something like that with 8xxx series!

Couple months ago I wanted 7950 or auctioning for 670 then I found out about never settle and I went for it, well those games that I received where not my taste so I sold them, pitty about Hitman because Hitman one of my nr1 series, anyway I don't see why someone would by nvidia's now-especially.

I recently picked up a MSI 7950 (I returned a MSI GTX 660Ti that I had for a short period of time) and I got the voucher for Crysis 3 and Bioshock: Infinite. The email after I registered says,
"Crysis 3 - EA Origin download
We will be sending you a download code for Crysis 3 as soon as the code is available. You will receive a follow up email that contains a game key that will grant you access to this amazing PC game.
Crysis 3 release date is on or before February 19, 2013*
(actual release date will vary by country) "
Same deal for Bioshock...
This is my first AMD card since the 9800Pro and I'm loving it so far. I'm able to get the clocks up to 1160/1575 with just max power limit (default volts on this card is 1.25v). Drivers seem fine to me using 13.2 Beta 4. I've tested a bunch of games, run tons of benchmarks, etc.
Overall, I'd say my OC'd 7950 is faster than the OC'd 660ti that I had for about a week. Both were the same price, however free games just seals the deal.
