**CRAZY END OF MONTH DEALS ON AMD/ATI GRAPHICS CARDS - DO NOT MISS OUT!!**

Yes i am. I'm expecting slightly worse performance but i will get the benefit of a cooler system, using less power and maybe now ill be able to leave my pc on overnight again. :D

The thing i didnt like was my 6950 twin frozr ii's both dumped heat inside my 600t. I didnt want to add a side fan to my case as i love the open look. However playing metro 2033 temps were getting up to 89c on the top card and i didnt like all that heat. It was also making my H60 work harder than it should have to as well.

I'd like to say though that i had zero issues with xfire.



Gibbo any chance of a price match on that for people who have just bought one from ocuk?

:cool:, thanks for your input, mine are unlocked/clocked with AC Extremes on top, heat isn't an issue for me, although noise is a big issue for me regarding stock/WF etc coolers.

Smashing price now on the WF, would love to hear one in running on 2D clocks on the desktop as I can't hear my twin cards at all, in a very, very quiet setup(on the desktop anyway), in game, I manually fire up all the fans in my rig(which is probably still quieter than most PC's when browsing).:)

CrossFire has been fantastic, overall a very happy experience, that's been the main thing holding me back from making this purchase.

69 series CrossFire performance has been trouble free for me, but it's looking like the 79's issues have been put to bed(single card mode anyway), so maybe it's time to make the switch. :)

Good work with the price match, same goes for Gibbo, but you both just made my purchase indecision even worse.:eek:

:)
 
Technically we should be getting four free games as anything spent over £25 you get Dirt showdown as well.

However upon checking my dispatch email i see no mention of Dirt Showdown...

It shows on that image you posted :confused:

Ah very nice. I've been really happy with the twin frozor's. However its always really hard to resist when newer tech comes out. Especially when it runs cooler, uses less power and uses like 3 watt at idle. :o

I intend to run some benchmarks later of 3Dmark 2011 and Heaven 2011 so i can compare 6950 stock xfire and 6970 stock xfire performance against a single 7970 stock and a 7970 OC.

Lets say i decide to sell both 6950's for £100 or so on the members market, and i sell the four free games (three for free with amd cards plus the dirt showdown when you spend £25 or more) i could end up getting the 7970 for free (kind of :p). That to me screams bargain. :cool:

Tommy i think you should place an order right now on at least one 7970. ;)

He's talking about the other Dirt Showdown offer on top of the AMD 3 for free

Yea i agree 4 games should be given, as we are buying over £25! and get 3 games when buying our selected cards, so a copy of borderlands 2, or battlefield 3 is in order! or even a second copy of DIRT 3 to give away me thinks!
 
And correct me if im wrong, but i cant see anything that says that the deal is not available with other offers, so technically and legaly we are due 4 games!

What is the cut off time for stuff to be shipped today? Its currently in warehouse que. is it 3:30pm?

Yep, hopefully a staff member will comment. If the extra game isn't included ill put a message in the customer services section tomorrow.

Gibbo confirmed somewhere else that you would get two codes...

EDIT, ah there we go. Thank you rusty's razor.
 
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5 on the way.

Bought it as a replacement for my X-Edition 7970 that I am getting a refund on due to hideous coil whine / inductor buzzing.

Might not be any better, but hoping with a custom PCB, better caps and the acclaimed "ultra durable" spiel that it might be less apparent :)
 
Hi there

OK guys, undercut that competitor slightly, the price on our website shall update in about 15 minutes. :)

It would appear, if the site is the one I checked out before and after your price reduction, that they have reacted to your price cut! On the bright side they currently only have 2 left in stock :D

I'll send Gibbo another email with the link. May as well start a (price) war. :cool:

edit - oh good grief, i was loking at a 7950. Well, fairs fair, you should have my money. Thats a good enough reason for me.
