This http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-275-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673 or this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-098-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673. Both the same price.

Need it for 3 monitor gaming.

gigabyte better rma service

+1

They're both exceptionally good cards, but Gigabyte stole it for me with their UK service.

Thanks. i just saw this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-109-GI&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2379 which is a lot cheaper but according to reviews only a few fps slower. What do you think?

Nah the 7950 is much faster then that card, i had it, its a decent card, but dont expect it to be as good as 7950.

The 7950 is way, way faster than that and is even faster than the card above that one - the 660Ti. At 1080p the 7950 is actually the same speed as the GTX670.

Across 3 screens the 7950 is faster than even the GTX 680 due to the limiting 256 bit bus on the 670/680.

So yeah, the 7950 is the best bet for your situation IMO.

Cool thanks. Regarding eyeinfinity setup on the 7950, I would use 2 DVIs and 1 mDP cable?

What monitors you got?

The 7950s (unless you buy a special version) don't have 2 DVI ports.

 

[GodAtum]

Oh right. I will have 3 Dell U2413ms which only come with DVI cables.

 

[Rusty0611]

These monitors?

If so just get two mDP to mDP cables and plug straight into the monitor and graphics card.

 

[hugobosslives]

plug in 1 DVI and 2 mDP from the card

then use mDP>DVI adaptors between the card and monitor

 

[GodAtum]

Its annoying having to buy an extra mDP but i guess that leaves me with 2 spare DVIs!

1 DVI to DVI
1 mDP to mDP
1 mDP to mDP

You don't have a spare DVI that way, or do you mean cable?

Nothing annoying about having a spare cable .

 

[GodAtum]

Actually I'll need mDP to DP cables (GPU to monitor).
