and trolling al the way 🙂

Yeah righto mate back in the box BARRY....... On topic though cant wait to try these on crossfire.

:stewpid: I'm embarrassed for you......

Lolz guys, it's just a bit of 'green' humour. But, to be fair, securing not one, not two, but upto three 'free' upcoming games in their 'Never Settle' bundle is cute marketing! Wonder how many will be tempted to see 'Red' based solely on the game bundle?

yes i want matrix amd say free games with 7970 so its 7970 i want free games so i can sell them lol the other cards this is listed in cart along with card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16800995140 No answer on newegg live chat it seems to be dead. How come every time i get red i get hosed somehow i did not even get the card yet either. just got off the phone with ne rep......nope sry no codes with that card fudge it newegg will get the card back then i cant understand no code with the most expensive card and the only one not to have a code. so i will get the cheapest pos 7970 for $100 less then the matrix and get $120 in games for free.

It's a heck of a deal... my fingers are itching for a second GPU, although I can't think of a single game that needs one (1080p). :eyes:

Just an update newegg has game bundle with matrix now.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121671

Yawn? Big business in world economy downturn profits shocker! Who invited the NV happy clapping cheerleader? People who don't understand how businesses work should stfu when commenting about them.

I'm no fanboy, smartass. I buy the best available. I'm worried the only competitor to Nvidia and Intel is falling apart at the seams. I wa one click away from confirming an order for the Powercolor Devil 13 when I remembered all the piss poor drivers inherent to AMD, ATI or whatever they're calling themselves today. Suddenly, when the company is looking at possibly their last Christmas sales boost, they come out with the drivers that should've already been created a couple of months ago and made available for this generation. Plus, they throw in a few games to help boost their lackluster sales. I've been looking for something other than Nvidia ever since they started using their Draconian voltage limiting methods to cripple OCing their (actually MY) cards. I'll happily switch back to AMD if they ever manage to hire a team that know how to properly write drivers. As far as their cpu's, they may as well stop production of any desktop models right now. They'll never again come close to beating Intel. Also a damned shame. Intel needs equal competition the same as Nvidia.

Very clever. Now image Intel holding 95%+ of CPU market. What do you think would happen? You might not noticed, but some people actually buy CPU not only for gaming, they might prefer to use it for server and lets say with reasonable price. You might buy best available, but some people would love to buy best suitable (which require little bit more brain power...)

If you buy the best available why were you about to purchase the Devil 13, which is a noisy, powersucking, overpriced piece of shlt? :3eyes:

A damned good deal if you ask me, and do you have any evidence that ATI cards aren't selling? Seems to be plenty of 6xxx/7xxx owners on this forum alone.

Nothing wrong with AMD drivers, how would you know anyway since you have an Nvidia card in your specs.....

AnandTech disagrees;

Projected Performance: Can AMD Catch up with Intel? With Vishera, AMD did a lot to close the gap betwen itself and Intel. Another increase like this and we won't see AMD surpass Intel, but the two should remain fairly close.

Their APU's are also doing quite well.
