It appears AMD finally had got good quantities of Tahiti GPUs in the channel so attack while the enemy has no defense. Pretty much all the reference style are $480, and OC customs can go up from there. Not a GTX680 available at Egg. .
480 no rebate aint bad for a 28nm.. but every single radeon card i've purchased in the past has had some kind of issue.. so i've decided to steer clear.
Sure is for like 1920x resoluction it and a GTX 560 (non Ti) spar back and forth depending on the game, You just can't beat $130 even with a high rebate it got BfB writen all over it. While also check the Price History for more...
