Yeah I gotta pay tax on all Newegg shopping, but Newegg usually has really good deals so it's ok. Sometimes Amazon.com will beat Newegg due to lack of sales tax (and Amazon always has free SUPER SAVER shipping for the kinda stuff we're buying here)
According to Tweaktown's numbers...the 6970 does look like a good, solid option for a single-card solution, and it's price is definitely right.
Two-card solutions will still beat it of course both in performance and cost but the 6970 is still competitive.
I'm thinking of eventually getting 2 additional 1920x1080 monitors to use Nvidia Surround (2D version). My video cards only have 1 GB of ram. Will that make 5760x1080 resolution be unplayable? I hope I don't need to upgrade since I just got my cards a month ago.
Also, on the Nvidia website...
It's a good deal, but is it an "inventory-clearing" sale? A bit more than a month back I got my 460s for $177 each *after* tax, so it wasn't that much more expensive back then.
