tigerdirect.comI got this in the july deal that came with six free games and I cant say im disappointed. Tiger Direct had the craziest shipping arrangement but it got to my house when promised

I'm pretty sure mine came in the next day. It was absurd.

What was the crazy shipping arrangement?

i ordered the card on Friday with expected deliver of next Thursday, on Monday I received a box shipped ups red with 5 out of the 6 games vouchers (pieces of paper). The next day I received another box shipped ups red that had the free hdmi cable included with the bundle; Wednesday I received a box shipped ups red with the same 5 of 6 game vouchers. Finally Thursday I received two boxes, the one that was shipped ups ground was a voucher for the 6th game and another package shipped ups red containing my graphics card.

Could I use this for a Catleap as my gaming monitor, and then use my 6950 for my two 24 in ASUS monitors on the side?
This looks like a deal I shouldn't pass up.

Well, I think you can use your 7970 for gaming on the catleap, and then use the 24" monitors as web browsers or whatnot, but at that rate you might as well just sell your 6950 on ebay or something and get some of your cash back. If you want to do 3 screens at once while gaming your best bet is to try it with the 7970 (which is a good high-res card) and if performance is not satisfactory then get another 7970 to xfire with the funds from selling your 6950.

I don't plan on gaming on 3 monitors. I think that's a little too much. A 27inch monitor is plenty for me, I just want to make sure I can have both cards in my desktop before pulling the trigger.

It was better when it came with like $200 worth of game coupons, but yeah, it's a pretty damn good deal. But you won't be able to use a 6950 in tandem with a 7970. Crossfire cards have to be identical.

I wasn't planning on crossfiring. Just gaming on the Catleap with the 7970, while the 6950 uses the other two monitors for work.

Same promo as earlier in July, except without the six free games.
I'm definitely glad I got in on that when it happened.
Same. Still haven't installed the monster, though. Building this weekend, if all goes well.
Don't forget to post pictures and good luck!
