New video card finally ordered

[MeldarthX]

Right - originaly I started out looking at the 7870 due to price and well it would be a nice upgrade over my 6870....

Then bitcoins decided to leap in value so I sold mine a little early than I should of at 47.8 a coin *kicks himself*

So I was bouncing between the 7870 TX/LE and 7950 - after much debate......and then seeing this deal which bounced my other deal out.....I've ordered

Once I get it I'll be posting up benches 52 pounds less than 7950 - and about 2% difference at normal speed at 1080p since I have 2 of the games I'm pretty sure I won't have an issue selling those on lowering my cost even more.....

Upgrading for free got to love that

Sweet! Congrats. Post some Valley HD and 3Dmark11 benches when you get it in.

Shit, those 5 free games are worth it alone!

 

[MeldarthX]

lol the other one I was looking at was this one

https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecial...raphics+Card+++3+FREE+GAMES!+?productId=54862

so when it came down to it; 52 more pounds......2 less games.....yes I own two of the games so I could most likely turn around and sell 2 for like 30 pounds.......

I'll get slightly less on mining with it - but from what I've seen they ave OC to about 1150 The deal was just too damn good to pass up

Shit they're giving away all 5 over there? Damn, here in the States you can get $100 total for them fairly easily.

I'm hoping its 2 to 3 game cards that come with my card.......that way if its the old reloaded bundle which sleeping dogs and hitman was part of......then farcry 3.....and new one with TR and BI

make it easier to sell them

 

[Shmee]

Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks Shmee as soon as it comes I'll see what benches I can run give a better idea - but for 180 pounds + 5 games.......I don't think I could of found a better deal - not sure on the single fan design........

but all the reviews say the heat pipe works well and the fan isn't too noisy - as its the same as powercolor PCS+ if I really dislike - I'll snag a custom cooler
