[Comp] NCIX PM @ ME: Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 Windforce $152.43 (tax included) after $30 MIR

[wetcardboard]

Don't know how I missed this last night. Regular price at ME is $204.99, sale price at NCIX is $179.99. PM'ed at ME comes to $182.43 after tax (not including shipping since I live within pick-up range). After $30 MIR your price is $152.43 (plus shipping if applicable). Very warm or mildly hot? How does this card compare to a 7850 besides the 1GB less of VRAM?

Hm... Doesn't the 6870 usually go on sale for about $150~ regularly anyways though? Windforce or not I still think end of the day its a 6870.
