Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum vs GTX 680

Highest i benched with the 7970 Matrix Platinums was 1325 core.

Great cards in terms of hardware. The price and the software ruin it though.

thanks. Everyone have been very helpful, for the most part and im glad ive come here anyways. I was going to spend £330 on a 770 but now got a 7970 for £260 and a lot of games : P

all in all im happy with the decision ive made and frankly didnt want to wait for the 280X because as i mentioned before, i dont like ref card coolers so i would have had to wait for Asus etc which i cant be bothered to be honest. and i dont think the price would drop any lower on the 7970. i mean u can get a ge for like £220 now, i cant see it go down any lower.

I will report back in a few days. im going to install it tonight or maybe tomorrow and i'll see if my silicon lottery ticket has won or not


Good one :) May I ask which one you got?
The MATRIX-HD7970-P-3GD5 or the MATRIX-HD7970-3GD5?
And have you manage to clock it?

Im tempted to grab a MATRIX-HD7970-P-3GD5 over this weekend and be done with it for another 2 1/2 years. (maybe grab a second for CF next year).

Let us burn, we are lost cause. :)
You should realised by now, that after your 45 posts in this discussion to tell us how much you loath the Matrix Platinum, people still talking about get one, because it has good value.

And you haven't actually said why, other than breaking one of them (which I find insane), and claiming "reference is better" and "do not get custom PCB".

Or else, please help us! Save our poor souls from eternal damnation, show us the way towards salvation and the direction of a 7970 that is deemed worthy for you (which you use!) at £250?

^^ LOL

i think i got MATRIX-HD7970-P-3GD5. i suppose the P stands for Platinum. i have used it for a bit, havent tried anything crazy with OC yet, frankly i cant be bothered it seems to run everything at full res above 60fps on 1111mhz anyway. but i did up it to 1200mhz with 1300mv and it seems fine. i will report back if i do clock it higher. im not very familiar with gpu ocing tbh, im not sure how much i need to up the voltage but im working on it :P
 
I do not know. tried to add you as a friend, if you confirm maybe we can talk?

(If you play WOT let me know can give you my nick)
