for a limited time
especially since AMD is releasing new GPUs around march-may
The offer will last until December 2013 or until they run out of keys

This is an interesting offer because I was considering replacing my dual GPU 5970 with essentially the single GPU equivalent, a 7970.
But with new GPUs right around the corner, I might hang around and see if another excellent bang for the buck card comes out. Or just something that looks appealing to me. I'm in no hurry to buy/play anything in particular anyway at the moment that would see much benefit from an upgrade.
By the way, for those of you looking for a new card, a 7970 is an incredible deal.

According to crytek... you'll need 7970 or its equivalent to run Crysis 3 on high

This card is over 3 years old now (got it in 2009 I think), so it's definitely aging. It was superb at the time, though, so not as much as some others.
The 7970 will still make a lot of people happy to this day (despite being an equivalent of an older card), and even though I get kinda bitchy about sub-60 FPS it'd still make me happy in a lot of games and will still pull those numbers as long as you don't throw something absurd at it.
I've heard the 7950 is good too.
