I have a Water-block from OCUk on its way for it as well, though i will test the card extensively first to make sure its only got the problem described otherwise its going back with avengeance!

It says Bottom DVI port does not display, Question is... Is that the Dual link or the Single Link?

According to this picture of the same card:


The top DVI Port is labeled DVI-D and the bottom DVI port is labeled VCA.
Am i correct in assuming that the top is the DVI Dual link and in turn is working?

I use a DVI-D and DP at the moment for my Catleap and Hazro monitors, so its very important that the DVI works.

Oh and i wont be using it along side my DCII 7970, the Sniper M3 motherboard wont allow a Dual slot card at the bottom. That is a reason why i jumped on the 7990 tbh.

Will update as it arrives

UPDATE:

So it arrived this morning.

Here are the un-boxing pics


lets see the card



Looks in good condition, i see no finger prints or signs of use at all Though we know its been used as it was "tested"


Will see which of these actually works later on in the week - no time today due to ipad repairs

Oh look what else turned up


That is the BIGGEST Waterblock box i have ever seen!

One MAHOOSIVE Block


And the same can be said for the back plate


the underside



When i get the time i will test the card on air and if i can get it working via Display ports or DVI and both cores work and don't artifact or crash then i will watercool it ;)

EDIT: TESTED

So i got around to testing it. Was a right pain getting it into the case with the 7970 still attached. I didn't fancy draining any loops today.

Here are some random pics for the fun of it


Moved the 7970


In goes the 7990 ;)


NOOO no display with the dvi with the hazro


Plugged the Hazro into a Dell Adapter and the Catleap into the DVI


And W00T!

Hopefully it will work fine, this line from the advert would worry me though tbh "Due to the testing procedure there may be other faults found which we are unaware of so please bare this in mind when placing a bid.".

Got to be careful on the bay..

Hopefully it will be ok.
 
You might want to edit out that link to a competing site before you get your wrists slapped.

This is a forum attached to a retailer :)
 
I would be worried because why wasn't it returned for RMA if it was faulty? Also what Boom picks out is spot on. You could have bought something that will not work and they have stated that in the description. I am not hot on ebay but would imagine they have covered all the angles.
 
Could potentially have snagged a bargain (unless you want to use multiple screens lol), I had a 7800GTX with a faulty DVI port (only did RB no G) that worked fine apart from that, still does.

What would you do, if the card doesnt work tho?

Demand a refund, as they have described it as working bar a faulty DVI port it would be an "item significantly not as described" under Paypal regardless of it being listed as a "for parts or not working" item (its counter intuitive but that category also specifically includes items which may work fine apart from a small fault).

He later on he mentions "Due to the testing procedure there may be other faults found which we are unaware of so please bare this in mind when placing a bid."

So the seller could cover themselves saying that the buyer was aware that he could buying a product with additional faults.
 
I use one dvi dual link and a dp port so it would be ok for me.

I did call him and ask if both cores are working and he said he has no idea.

So if they do and the card performs well then for me its a bargin :)

Just need to find a water block for under 100 :o


If its busted then paypal claim it is. Paypal allways sides with buyer lol
 
this ^^
some suppliers will RMA an item without an invoice, based purely on the date it originally left their warehouse, unless it shows up as stolen or it's already been RMA'd and deemed to be damaged by the user

True, but you can't put things in a description to override listing descriptors, if its supposed to be working apart from a fault, and that fault is listed you cannot try and justify it by saying it wasn't fully tested. Paypal almost always sides with the buyer especially when the rules are on their side.


Also lets not forget that in this instance the seller is a business, DSR applies :P

you might have a fight on your hands though, as the seller thinks he is being careful to say "auction only, no buy it now" because he's mistakenly thought that Ebay counts as being an auction, even though according to the DTI and Trading Standards it doesn't

paypal will still side with you and you'll get that returns auth from them, it's just extra hassle having to wait for the process to go through
 
Well its no issue if it doesnt work. Will be chuffed if it does as I will have got a watercooled 7990 for around 500 after block is ordered.

Bargin ;)
 
I must be mad. Ordered a block from ocuk just now! £120 for a block I almost died.

Wont open it untill tested the 7990 on various games for hours.. so can dsr it if required.
 
Problem.... vtx3d 7990

The bottom dvi port is broken but is that the dual link or single port!?!

I will be screwed if its the dual link thats dead as I gave a 30" hazro!

The io plate on the club3d model has letters dvi-d at top and vcd at bottom port.

Help!

I don't know much about these cards but can you use your single HD 7970 as the primary card for output and the HD 7990 xfired to it.
