I think its fairly clear it will be slightly faster than a 780, and probably a little weaker than a titan (maybe beating it in some AMD-optimized games)
For me personally, saving 300 dollars wouldnt be too horrible of a deal (esp with mantle on the horizon).
I dont mind AMD, I just dont...
xifre - 7970s will cause microstutter @1080p right? I dealt with that shit on my 5850s, never again.
700 bucks is alot, but my single 7970 is barely cutting it in bf4 beta. I need more fps for 120hz.
Its very spastic. the skill ceiling is fairly low... I skipped MW3, so only reason Im getting this is to have a game to beat up on internet kids...
Most annoying thing is the amount of "shit" in the game in terms of retarded mines and nades and perks and things falling from the sky as spam.
Anyone able to run this in 1080p? game wont give me an option to get my resolution higher than 1600by900. which my monitor doesnt even support. So im stuck running 1280by1024 or sromething dumb
Anyway this is in response to the engine being optimized for consoles to run @ 30fps?
Just doesnt scale well otherwise? I cant imagine they spend all that much time making the PC version run effectively on the current cream-of-the-crop hardware.
It seems not bad, Im keeping it on that for now. is a TINY bit dark though in games. I actually had to turn up brightness in BF3 because i literally couldnt see anything on some of the CQ maps.

Stability Test
FurMark - ran for 15 minutes, max temp 92c, eventually leveled out to 90c and was fine.
I dont think going much higher though will have sufficient cooling? thats pretty damn hot.
That I cant answer, I just know ALL of my 15 DVI Cables I had laying around were not DVI-D.
I had to go buy an extra DVI-D cable from amazon because I bought my 120hz monitor used and It wasnt included.
I run everything "HIGH" with AA off, motion off, and AF at 8x, and it will still dip below 60 quite a bit on Karkland etc on my 7970 because there is so much shit going on 64 player servers.
Im anal too, run 120hz and want like 80+ fps constant or I go crazy feeling like I cant aim properly.
Sapphire 1125 / 1600
Only played bf3 64 player for about an hour, no artifacts or crashing.
Still need to run benchmarks and check the temps, but when I would quit bf3 I checked and immediately it was at like 76C so, we will see.
oh and ambient sits 29c idle, and GPU is at 55c idle.
Got mine today!
Doesnt seem faster than my (2) 5850s though in crossfire. its about the same.
running 1080p @120hz. No more microstutter, but it bottoms out worse in battlefield3 in large-environments.
Got it at 1125 and 1575. runs cool. still pleased so far.
yeah, I just got to work, and I was like "la dee da, lets see if they started shipping orders early..." check my newegg app and it says "VOID" "void? whats void mean?"
check my email. sadface :(
My sapphire 7970 I ordered @ ~10pm got cancelled this morning my newegg @ 430am :(
said they didnt actually have the "stock" that I ordered from. fail
where else can I pick one of these up?
