The $189.99 price is after the promo code has been applied, unless my math is wrong somewhere.
$249.99*(1-0.14)=$214.99
$214.99-$25=$189.99

looks like a great deal to me.

Um...... Hmmm..... so after selling the games.. a bit late at this point, but still possible... -$50 that's $140 for this card...

Hm...... the most recent deal for 7870 Myst, which is Tahiti vs Pitcairn was $160 after selling the game...   Considering the tahiti 7870 is 20%-25% faster than this Pitcairn when both cards are at full overclock..

This deal isn't as good as the Tahiti 7870 Myst deal... no rebate + new game... 

Still though, it's likely the best deal out "today" + rebate.

The only issue here is, the games are a bit older now, and tomraider went on sale for $2x recently.. and ebay's a bit flooded ever since the myst with the promo cards..

IF you arn't able to sell the games $190 for this card is getting Butt rap...ed, the 7950s at around $250 starting with the SAME GAMES, would be a better deal.

this is a pretty good deal, the myst card is good but i would recommend a aftermarket cooler as the myst cooler gets pretty loud.

No do not do this.. it's totally NOT worth the cash... The myst is held back by the VRM heatsink, No amount of increased air flow will improve upon this weakness because it's just not large enough to handle more than 100amps
