Needing some more graphical power than the MSI GTX 660 TwinFrozr III OC 2GB card for my fiancees upcoming new PC build I have been offered two Asus HD7970 3GB cards complete with boxes and invoices (from April 12th 2012) for £286
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD79703GD5/

Should I jump then gun and take them ? I think it seems like a fair price :rolleyes:. Originally were were looking on a Sapphire R9-280 Toxic OC card or the upcoming R9-290(non-x).

I'm close to saying yes, but if it's a bad idea I wont.

I can tell the upcoming specs are MSI X79A-GD45 Plus, 16GB G.Skill Ares 1866MHz, Core i7 3820, Antec Kühler 920. She has a Coolermaster GX 750 which we are going to reuse in the Fractal Define R3 case.

What Saitex said.


Gripen get the cards, overclock them and laugh at everyone who's going to spend double the money for less performance with the GTX780/R9 290X/TITAN
( or equal performance with 7990)

After reconsidering the 7990 offer @ £400, I though at £260* my 7950s @1100/1550 are more than enough. And they are quiet also under load. (the H100 with 4 fans makes more noise tbh).

*both, after selling the games
 
Thanks for your opinions all of you - very much appreciated ;) :D

I went ahead and said yes to the offer ! this should make the wife a happy gamer for the next 2 years or so :)

2 cards and system on full load would pull 600w+
