*** AMD FRIDAY: SO WHO WANTS A FREE BURGER & SOME EPIC AMD DEALS??? ***

[LtMatt]

Do the 7950 TF III cards exhaust air or dump them in the case? Tempted to xfire....

Dump.

 

[psychas]

giga 7950 x3 wind not on deal ;/

 

[MG42Maniac]

Dump.

Annoying! That's one of the big draws to the HIS cards for me. I'll probably still go crossfire with these as I cannot see the 9970 beating two 7950 in xfire.

When does this expire?

Wait for them to send you the code, their'r out of stock. Normally takes a couple of days to a week or so. If you haven't heard anything by then, drop Thracks a trust message and he'll sort it out.

You're looking at about 5% performance hit maybe a bit more. What you will find is the gpu in the x4 slot works around 80-90% usage. I'd still recommend crossfire to someone with a motherboard like this, but you should make sure the next thing you upgrade is the mobo as soon as you can to get the most from your gpu's.

Damn car tax means this month is probably out the question for me. I wonder though, in crossfire, is the performance hit on the second card down to the PCIE bus ? If you put a faster performing 7970 in the second slot, would it cancel out the reduction and equal 7950 crossfire (I know of would down clock to the 7950 speeds but whether the ROPs etc would help) ? Just a thought . . .

If we have pre-ordered do we still get the reward tickets?

Or is it based on when you actually paid for the card?

 

[Gibbo]

The MSI delivery of all the 79xx cards is due around Thursday this week.

 

[rare]

Gibbo are you expecting the 7990 to sell out and when it does will there be any more at that price?

 

[Diagro]

They said in an email to me that the £499 price is Pre-order ONLY

Will go up once in stock.

 

[rare]

Uho. This makes it a hard decision now!!

 

[drakt]

Are these going up to "normal price" after the 30th?

Because these are pretty darn tootit cheap.

Curses! Won't get paid in time. Might have to sabotage the shipment.
