Did I make the right Decision

I bought a 6970 for $160 yesterday, did I make the right decision for a card under $180? It was the shell shocker.

it's equivilant to a 7870 with a bit more power consumption, 7870s are generally around $200+

i'd say it was a good decision

Thanks, its supposed to last until the 8950, my brother swayed me back to amd

Apart from the power consumption; yes.
