So I have been looking around for about a month for the best high-end GPU to get, and I eventually decided on the Sapphire Dual-X 7970. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982 However, I still needed to save up a little more cash to get it, and now it seems to be discontinued (because of upcoming 8000 series???). I am wondering if there is any way to still purchase one of these cards, maybe on another website or something, that includes the Crysis/Bioshock Bundle? It is the main thing that makes me want this card over a cheaper GTX 670. I am looking at this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5469329&CatId=7387 on TigerDirect but I'm not sure if it has the bundle. Can someone tell me if there is any chance more of these cards will be made for Newegg/there is another place that sells this card plus the bundle for a similar price? Thank you!

I am also wondering if the Sapphire 3GB Vapor-X 7970 GHz Edition (Currently $420 USD on Newegg) will stay in stock for a couple more months, or if we will likely be seeing the end of that one too soon.

Thanks!

If your checking newegg, it SAYING disscontinued doesn't always mean that. sometimes they put that up until they get more stock. and its all the draw, you could get lucky and they might go on sale, and yes it looks like the tigerdirect comes with crysis 3 and bioshock inf in the bundle (btw the tigerdirect gpu you chose is the 7950 just pointing it out since you wanted the 7970)

Oh yeah lol, I didn't notice that. Link is fixed now. I was just curious because on TigerDirect there was a picture of Crysis and Bioshock but there was no actual text indicating that it was included, like there is on Newegg.

Thank you

it's on sale right now , but its just the 7950, they dont want to sell that 7970 just yet :p

and yea, hopefully while your still saving money for that 7970 it will go on sale, and make everything that much better lol, i bought my 7870 on sale right after i got my tax return it was perfect timing lol
