Very impressive hope nVidia does something similar would love an extra 10% of performance out of my 670. This makes the 7xxx cards very attractive.

I wish I could get those games for free...lol
I already have 2 of them. Best cards I have had.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Now's the time to reserve your seat in the lifeboat.
All of these games will cost next to nothing in a few months.
Will you also be shopping for a videocard you can trust when these games go in the sales bin?

Eagerly awaiting the next build with the bug fixes. The current price of the original 7970, the overclockability, this nice games bundle coupled with this nice little boost in performance may just tip me towards throwing in a second 7970 at Crimbo!

It is only 1 quarter and they are restructuring. It is never good news but many companies have posted profit warnings or losses, just a sign of the times. It is a strong brand and will either bounce back or be bought out.

It's just swings between the two companies for their top end cards. The competition is good for us. Without it we wouldn't have any new innovative cards, PC gaming would probably die as consoles takeover. Anyway this is OT.

If AMD keeps putting out drivers like this, when it comes time to upgrade my folding rigs, I will go with the next gen AMD cards.

Although my 3DMark 11 graphics score stayed the same from 12.9 to 12.10 to 12.11 on my A8-3500M APU (6620G)+6750M combo, my physics score went up over 25%! Nobody thought about them improving GPGPU performance for the non-GCN cards. 😉
