    1250MHz is the clock speed for the memory, not the core (which is 850MHz boosted to 925MHz). Also, MOH Warfighter is not included, there is a 20% off coupon.

    Be cautious if you do get this card. I received two of the similar model (same PCB, cooling) except it did not have boost enabled. I mentioned this on the 7870 Sapphire card's comments on the deal below, but be careful and test the card under a good amount of load to determine if there is any black scree/dead video, blue screens, or graphical corruption. It happened to me on two different 7950's from Sapphire.

    If you're looking to upgrade to a 7950, I insted opted to go with a different manufacturer and must say, the price and performance at this area really is unmatched. Now if only AMD could get Crossfire to play nice with the newer games. *Shakes fist at Far Cry 3 DX11 stuttering*

    With the frame latency issues I've heard about on AMD's cards, is it better to steer clear of Radeons for the foreseeable future?

    I have never noticed any stutter or latency with my 7950 and I game a LOT with it on a 30" 2560x1600 monitor. This specific card is generally a good overclocker, mine does 1200/1750 @ 1.2v 24/7 and the cooler is very good and keeping temps at 60-65C or below.
