7970 LTG Replacement

[Cleeecooo]

Hi all,

I've been offered either £160 or an MSI 280X to replace my 7970 LTG. I already have another 7970 LTG, and a waterblock for the 7970, so neither option is particularly brilliant seeing as I can't even X-Fire the two cards. Are there any more desirable options you guys can think of?

Thanks!

You may have to consider selling the card and both waterblocks and going for a stronger single card and waterblock.

What sort of card would you recommend for £300 ish? I've been out of this game for quote some time...

As above, two free games.

Check its length against your case, if its a bit too long then the MSI+ASUS are shorter.

You can crossfire a 280x with a 7970, they're the same thing. I doubt the block would fit though if it's lightning specific.

a standard 280x is a downgrade from a 7970 lightning though.

Clee if I were you, I would wait a bit until the new amd/nvidia cards come out which is supposed to be soon (everyone hopes)

So is it a fair RMA replacement?

Any ideas on pricing of the new cards?
