    ASUS 7970 DirectCU II available now

    That was quick, gone again! Kinda sucks that they send auto-notifiy emails out an hour before they're back. So the first wave of people check and say screw it since they're still deactivated. Then silently a few come in stock an hour later for a few minutes.

    ASUS 7970 DirectCU II available now

    Same here, got my auto-notify but I knew Newegg had already deactivated the item last night, not just 'out of stock' - Chat support was no help, saying to basically check back early and often for updates to the item.

    Q6600 abysmal BF3 performance: upgrade vid card now, or wait for Ivy Bridge?

    I don't see that the OP has answered this yet. I wouldn't change anything until this has been tested.

    Have a chance to snag a 2nd 5870 eyefinity 6 gpu

    See sig for specs - similar setup here. My APC UPS reports ~650w used, including the monitor when gaming. I picked up a nicely priced used 5870 2GB eyefinity 6 card off ebay when Battlefield 3 came out. It will run BF3 multiplayer 2560x1440 on Ultra settings but with 0xMSAA and produces 50-70...

    Impressive power savings and I'm guessing similar/sometimes better performance?

    Newegg claims: Limited Warranty period (parts): Lifetime Limited Warranty period (labor): Lifetime but http://xfxforce.com/en-us/Help/Support/WarrantyInformation.aspx says: Which products are eligible for a limited lifetime hardware warranty? The following Graphics Cards are...

    ASUS 7970 DirectCU II available now

    I threw in the towel and ordered the XFX Black Edition 'reference' design. The lineup review on hardwarecanucks gave me some confidence in that decision: "...incorporates a higher clocked core (in this case overclocked to 1GHz) which has been through a binning process to ensure good...

    ASUS 7970 DirectCU II available now

    my amazon order from Feb 16th updated to: "Delivery Estimate: Wednesday March 7, 2012 - Wednesday March 14, 2012" but as others mentioned that might not mean much. The visible status on the product page is now "Temporarily out of stock." To make things worse I see Newegg has also now...
