PowerColor PCS HD7870 Myst Edition Graphics Card Review @ HardwareHeaven.com

Seems like they are trying to sell a video card based on what games it can play.  Sound familar?

PowerColor are taking the Tahiti GPU, usually used in 7900 series cards, and pricing/configuring it at 7870 level. Call it Tahiti LE, 7950 Light... or 7870 Myst with PCS+ cooling. Today we take a look at how it performs in games like Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3 and Hitman Absolution.

Back in the early days having games included with your graphics card was a real value addition and proof that the card will run the latest titles.  These days it really doesn't matter.

Sad how things have changed.
