This is dishonest, you know there is a price drop.
This could easily be new stock that you are making a $200 profit on top of your normal profit. Even if its not its still not there is no bargain here as most people can wait 1-2 weeks
NewEgg Power Colour 7970: $335
Umart Power Colour 7970: $369
NewEgg 7990: $699
My estimate for Umart 7990: $760
Therefore this is very overpriced if you are willing to wait 1-2 weeks.
well stated
Agreed. This is no bargain.
Totally dishonest!! Shame on you Scorptec!!
Bloody disgrace. Hang your heads in shame Scorptec.
Deceptive. -1
If the sales ends and the card goes back up without passing AMD's discount over I think it's time for me to never visit your website ever again.
Not quite twice as fast as this 7970 for only $369:

What's the power consumption like? Could be better to just xfire two 7970s then.
Ban them! This is an outrage.
PcCaseGear also has it for $899 but for Gigabyte

Actually, looking around, it seems all of the 7990's are $899
Wtf is up with all the backlash? Ok, sure, it might not be a fantastic bargain if better prices are on the way, but it's still the cheapest price on staticice atm, and even the Anandtech article mentioned that the HIS model was $749 US, which with our exchange rate it's already $820, plus extra for getting it here. The typical pre-discount price here was $1100, and AMD have announced a $200 discount so ~$900 sounds pretty much right to me.
Does this really deserve "dishonest", "bloody disgrace", and "ban them"??
The typical pre-discount price here was $1100, and AMD have announced a $200 discount so ~$900 sounds pretty much right to me.
Pre-discount price - $1100
AMD price drop - $200
New standard price ~$900
So how does $899 sound pretty much the right price for a BARGAIN?
I never said it was a bargain, but since when do we suggest that just because it's not a bargain that somehow the store is deceitful, a bloody disgrace and should be banned?
Because they would know that the price drop is happening or has already happened, they could have said something.
Because they're claiming it's a bargain.
everytime there is a price drop some retailer will come out an offer like this
Shouldn't AMD be up to the 8000 series by now? They're always one number ahead of nVidia on the first digit in this arms race.
CPL also has HD7990 for $899 every day price but as the Gigabyte card. So this is not the cheapest on staticice at the moment as the Gigabyte HD7990 is the same price so it's a tie. Going by the photos this HIS card here and the Gigabyte are both reference HD7990 card. Basically absolutely no difference between them.

Basically the HD7990 has dropped down to $899 price level and Scorptec is claiming it as a $250 off limited time sale which is a bit deceptive because $899 is the normal every day price now. After this sale ends i bet the price will stay at $899 so you're basically paying the normal price here now. It's not a bargain price. Then again PCCG is doing the same $899 with $250 off sale trick. They're not telling you that $899 is the standard price now after the price drop.
I agree with most of the comments on here
Not worthy of a bargain
New AMD 8970 series will come out next month.
