    7970 Purchasing Thread

    For what it's worth, the amazon sapphire refund I received was through the "Live Chat' option. My request was concise, short, and polite. Gotta be nice to these guys sometimes to get the best result :) I did not get them to price-match to newegg. Their OWN price is $549 now...

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    For those of you who ordered the $599 (or higher) sapphire on Amazon, the price just dropped $50 to match Newegg. I'm requesting the updated price. Edit: Amazon is giving me a $50 refund.

    Can you fit a 6970 into a midtower case?

    6970 fits in my Antec Performance One P180 only if I remove the optional hard drive caddy.

    Can you fit a 6970 into a midtower case?

    As you can gather from everyone else's posts, the answer is usually yes but depends on your particular case layout. You're probably more likely to have hassles with re-routing cables than a physical length limitation.

    3x 30" Portrait 6970 CF Eyefinity vs 580 SLI Surround Showdown

    The screen tearing shocked me too when I went from 5850->6970 single card Eyefinity (5760x1200). I have also found that setting the center monitor to be the "preferred" display makes the tearing occur on one of the side monitors. After moving the tearing to a side monitor, I've played...

    Come across any 6970 reviews w/WoW benchmark?

    You can modify the WOW application to be large address aware. This requires a modification of the EXE. I use this because it is necessary for eyefinity setups which can otherwise run out of memory in crowded locations and crash at high resolution/graphic settings. I'm not sure if it has any...

    6900 CF and microstutter

    I bought two 5850 for crossfire and tested multiple games at 5700x1200. Some games experienced "microstutter", especially BFBC2. The bottom line was that the experience was more playable with crossfire disabled, so I sold one of the cards back. Call it what you will--I tried plenty of video...

    Eyefinity does not work with WoW dX11

    The OP was referring to these benchmarks for WoW DX9 vs. DX11 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-directx-11-performance,2793-7.html It is supposed to smoother with Dx11. However, windowed vs. fullscreen was not clearly specified in the article and it did not test...

    Eyefinity does not work with WoW dX11

    The login menu and in-game experience was the same (normal) for both DX9 and DX11 paths. FYI I added the DX11 setting to the config file but I have not verified that it took effect (though I have no reason to think otherwise).

    Eyefinity does not work with WoW dX11

    I was suspecting problems after reading this post, but it seems like my Eyefinity setup is working fine with DX11 path in the config file.

    Eyefinity does not work with WoW dX11

    It's great for moving windows around and also stuffing things you don't use often (like trade chat, recount, others off to the side that can easily be accessed but don't get in the way.

    Eyefinity does not work with WoW dX11

    That's funny because I just read the same article @ Toms and made the same change to my config file with the same monitor setup. However, I was in game and didn't log in afterwards to check it. Thanks for the heads up you probably saved me a bunch of confused debugging time. I would have...
