7970 Lightning, worth the premium?

Grrr still no CPU, no solid mention of a release date on the lightning blocks, I need to game damnit!!

Oh well, at least my sandybridge stuff is selling at last. Starting to regret gambling on that chip, could have had a 3820 installed by now :(
 
If I were you I'd go for the 3770k as you already have a gen3 motherboard.

Clock for clock the ib chip will edge past the 3820, but with x79 comes next year's ib-e chips. Hopefully with an 8c16t monster :D
 
Brilliant :D

On a brighter note my cpu is out for delivery today!!! I might get to play some games this weekend yet.
 
I say gaming, what will happen is I'll spend the entire weekend benchmarking :p

Vegas videos do make me want to fire up bf 3 however
 
DPD did a drive down my street and run, no card, no knock and I've been in all day with my wife waiting for the delivery, then a mysterious email saying I wasn't in!! Last few DPD deliveries have been going down hill, they used to be excellent here! Upset is not the word atm! :mad::mad:
 
Had a similar thing a few months back waiting for a water block. Delivery was supposed to be between 17:30-18:30 I got home at 17:25 to find a card saying delivery missed with a time stamp of 17:40.

Phoned DPD, promptly kicked off down the phone at the poor woman who gave me free saturday delivery. But I do agree they have gone downhill recently.

If I was you I'd phone the local depot (not the central call centre) and say that the driver didn't even get out of his van and tell them you expect the drive to do a u-turn and bring the parcel back.

I also have a missed delivery, but it can wait until either tomorrow or Saturday to get picked up. Either way should be up and running by Saturday afternoon provided I can find somewhere that has a decent tube res in stock that will do Saturday delivery.

A good plan, make sure to ask to speak to the depot manager before you collect your parcel, someone flat out not doing the job they are payed to do just isn't on and its lazy.

Why can't OcUK have the res I want in stock :(
 
Replacement and a collection just like that?! i had to send mine back myself then wait for it to be tested before I was even considered for a replacement. Gratz on that service
