Hi guys.

On the front page the description says

You'll never see an offer like this again, an Asus HD 7970 TOP for under £200 - BUY NOW!!!

But as far as I can see the price is 209.99.

Does anyone know whats up?

It's a typo, it's meant to be 209.

If they go 199.99 then its insanity pricing!

Goose · 12 Oct 2013 at 15:59

Blergh! I just bought one for £227 last week!

Snap. Can't moan though still under £200 once I sold the games on

I bought the Platinum version a couple of hours ago at £235.99 & its now £229, im guessing the price is going to drop some more

Edit: over it now, im getting one hell of a card for cheap so turning that frown upside down

Hi there

A bit of an error by me on the prices, TOP was too low on stock in the end to offer a sub £200 price.

However tweaked the Matrix Platinum price down, it is now £221.99 which is the cheapest its ever being anywhere.

P.S. Drop a post in CS forum and they will refund the difference as your order would not have shipped yet.

This is very tempting

You think I will see much of an upgrade from my asus 7950 max clock 1100mhz 5500mhz?

Oh my, I just bought one, talk about a reflex purchase. Don't know if it fits, have enough power adapters, who cares. Happy days!!!!!!

Damn, that is a steal!

sirp · 12 Oct 2013 at 17:01

I want to buy a Matrix now, can someone tell me if I can hook this up fine without any extra connectors?

I currently have a 6950 and this is connected using an Antec TruePower 650? Do I have the correct power cables on this or not?

cheers

You need two 8-pin PCI-E connectors by the look of it, it might work okay with two 6-pin though I'm not sure.

sirp · 12 Oct 2013 at 17:05

yes, just looked, I have two 6 pin being used and a 2 pin free dangling on the PCIE cable. Are there 6 pin to 8 pin adaptors or something?

Martini1991 · 12 Oct 2013 at 17:11

You can get 6-8 adaptors.

mmj_uk · 12 Oct 2013 at 17:12

There are converters yes but I am not 100% sure if it will work, it will depend on the card/PSU in use I guess.

AFAIK 8 pin connectors are rated at 150W, whereas 6 pin only 75W, so even with an adapter there might not be enough power going to the card?

Perhaps someone on the forum has first hand experience?

Rannoch · 12 Oct 2013 at 17:15

If you had 2 of these cards overclocked, what performance would you get, better than a Titan?

sirp · 12 Oct 2013 at 17:16

it comes bundled with 2 x 8-pin power cable, maybe these do the job, can someone who knows tell me

£221.99

Couldn't resist at that price.

Should be a nice upgrade from my GTX 660.

I upgraded to a 7970 from a 660 and yes, one hell of an upgrade.

If you have access to the MM, there as one going for £190.

Yeah I seen that about 20mins too late. I always miss any no-brainer deals on the MM.
