    2x 3GB 580s or 2x 7970s?

    The two main benefits I can see for GTX right now is a strong preference for nVidia for driver quality or PhysX. Aside from that, it seems very clear that the 7970 is the faster card by a reasonable amount, and that both performance and power consumption are impressive when multiple 7970s are...

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    Thank you very much. (I wasn't ordering the card before passing, so I'm very glad they were still in stock today.) Since NewEgg shipped it out of NJ, and I'm in upstate New York, the 3-day UPS guaranteed almost always shows up the very next day... I'm at an all day sales team kick off meeting...

    2x 3GB 580s or 2x 7970s?

    The HD 7970 is ready for DirectX 11.1, that was part of what made me decide to order one. That, and reviews talking about how well the second, third and fourth card stacked, and how power efficient they are both in use and idle. One card is plenty for me, but reading the reviews and knowing...

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    Passed my Cisco exam today, came home and ordered my 7970 from NewEgg this afternoon as a reward. Didn't rush order, didn't pay for anything above normal shipping, and they shipped it out today.:D

    GTX 275 to GTX 560 worth it?

    Anyone who pays their power bill will obviously pay a little extra using two cards compared to if they used a single card. Additionally, given equal MTBF for each card, a dual card is far more likely to have a hardware failure than a single card. That's before you even get into personal...

    Just ordered my 7970 - Needed to share my excitement

    OP, any chance you can confirm whether or not you would have been able to order a 7950? A dozen or so web stories have all reported on the 7950 being pushed back, but only using the pull guru3d.com story as a source. I'd be interested to know whether or not you have any information on the 7950...

    7950 delayed to first week of February?

    Yes it does. Interesting. I guess we'll know for sure at some point in the next eight days!

    7950 delayed to first week of February?

    I understand that. I wonder why not real a 7970 (unlockable) and 7950 (not unlockable), and the follow up in February with an unlockable 7950, similarly to the 2500 and 2500K, for example? Meh, I'm sure they have a bright team of people who came to the conclusion that their current course of...

    7950 delayed to first week of February?

    Maybe not a bad idea, and my specific case is unique, but I've bought and assembled a pretty decent gaming PC in the last 6 days, taking advantage of some of decent year-end sales, and I'm waiting for the 7970 to see what it does to GTX 580/570 pricing. If the 7950 was coming out, that was...

    Is it coming out for PC, or only 360, PS3 and "mobile platforms"?

    Corsair "Barebones" Christmas Giveaway!

    What do I like about Corsair? They've been in the industry since the last time I had a gaming PC. The last time I built a gaming PC, about a decade ago, Corsair was making quality RAM for gaming enthusiasts, and they still do today, albeit with a wider product line up. They make quality...
