Correct.
I bought the 7970 version of this card from Amazon for $346AU delivered when they had it on sale a few weeks ago.
This for $300 is still an OK buy (compared to the rest of the discounted 7970s.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a better deal: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/121265#comment-1664542
not sure if it's better than the MSI deals.
From a technical stand-point no, hence why it's a called by a numerically-inferior model number; 7950.
It has less stream processors, texture units, ROP's, memory bandwidth, and lower clock speeds compared to a 7970.
The gap in performance is about 15% at the same clock speeds, but with the 7970's factory higher clocks and then with the potential for further OC'ing, that gap widens to 20% or higher:

Some people do have an issue with the reliability of budget GPU vendors like MSI though; so you may potentially end up with a longer and more trouble-free lifespan with an ASUS 7950, but it will perform worse than any 7970 unless you overclock the living daylights out of it, which negates the point of buying a higher-quality vendor card for better reliability in the first place.
$300 for a 7950 isn't a good deal anymore, even before all the recent deals arrived.
I got the Gigabyte 7950 OC this time last year at this price.
Bought this last week for my build, good price for centrecom and this is the cheapest I've seen an Asus 7950
I'd suggest not buying from these guys online unless you buy from a store outlet. They are not given the nickname dodgycom for nothing.
Still waiting for my replacement hard drive after 2 weeks when I sent one to them within 24 hours of getting it and detecting it had faults..
Took them 4 days to merely acknowledge they had received my drive after 2 phone calls and an email.
Sent email two days ago asking for update… No response….
Crap after care service.
IMO, not really a good deal.
Doesn't really help it's from Centrecom
PCCG is selling Sapphire 7950 for $269…
I thought of buying this but by the time you add postage, fees etc it is $293 not much better than this offer. MSY is only a short way and the $299 is the Asus standard prices there.
Here's the review of the 7950's http://www.anandtech.com/show/5485/amd-radeon-hd-7950-launch…
Asus much longer that the sapphire but may be less noisy.
Deal has expired, up to $353 now
7970 > 7950 ?
