WTB 7970 and W3680

[rgMekanic]

Looking for a few things to upgrade since I can't afford a build at this time.

In need of a 7970, preferably a Powercolor non-ref to match my current, but open to any.

And a W3680/W3690/980x , currently running a 965, need a little bump.

Thanks in advance, don't have much Heat, but Ebay is perfect and can be provided.

Late night bump so I have something to look forward to at work tomorrow.

I have a 7970 GHZ Edition crossfired with a R9 280X works great. Same card. Check it out.

I was curious about that, mine is on the stock bios, but running at 1025/1500 right now. Would it drag the 280x down at all?

They are the same card, so you won't drag anything down. Will it use the lower clock speed of the two card? sure, but it's nothing to worry about in terms or performance. It just depends on the models that you get, try and find one to match if you can but you will be fine with any of them when you crossfire.

I personally like to pair up exact same cards myself, but that's just a personal preference.

Good luck and have fun!

Video card pending.

Still looking for the CPU. May kill this thread off and make a new one.

Side note, anyone have any triple channel laying around collecting dust?

Not really what I'm looking for, but tempting just so I can tell people I have 15GB of memory and watch them get really confused

Haha yeah. I offered them up to a buddy of mine selling his i7 930 setup that has 6gb ram. He told me he didnt want to show that it had 9gb ram because he didnt think it would sell. 9 is more than 6 is what i told him. But he didnt wamt to do it.
