At this rate i might snap up a pair of 7950's of £370 and be laughing

All 7950 crossfire users are laughing. Some of us are still laughing, long after we first laughed about it. Its like we're on laughing gas, it really is a laugh a minute.

The only 7950 crossfire users not laughing are ones who paid release day prices. One day though even they'll look back and laugh about it, just like us now.

Laugh.
 
why are people complaining about the price and performance? Have we actually had any proper official benchmarks and details on the price yet? Reading through this...it only seems to be guesses or quotes from random websites.
Isn't it best untill the NDA is lifted and we get all the major site reviews first before we judge.

Of course it is, but it would be boring if everyone did that. Its far easier to talk the product up or bash it based on small crops of non reliable information we read on websites or hear from Gibbo. Amen.
 
Before every release Gibbo has been spot on with what he's said, he's true to his word. I bet he knows far more about the new cards than any of us here do anyway!

Gibbo also said price could be anywhere from £399 to £499. In other words he's not going to know right up until release date as things are changing constantly.
 
The only people more smug than cf 7950 users are those who bought sandybridge cpu's......

That's me. Is it you as well Bunny?

Anyone who thinks it will launch cheaper than what the 7970's did is deluded in my opinion.

I'm just taking your advice and going off what Gibbo said. ;)

Ahhhhh the Non-enthusiast's... :p

Oh its on now. :D

DOUBLE SMUGNESS INCOMIIIIIIIING!!!!

/strokes 2700k and 2x7950s :eek: :p

Brothers in Arms! :cool:
 
Nope...you didn't ;)

Great looking rig, great looking card! :cool:
 
Now pre-loading the Beta for BF4. October the 1st and we will know for sure how much VRAM and grunt is required and no more of this VRAM debate (till the next one).

Is Matt buying someone BF4 or is he getting it bought for him??? Hmmmmm :D

Tone is buying me a copy if im right. I can't remember the specifics now tbh. I think its if the 2gb limit is exceeded at 1600p with highest settings & still provide playable fps, single or multi gpu. I'll be able to test that of course at 1440p, but not 1600p. If by any chance its not playable, once mantle arrives it will be. Sooner or later tone will be buying me a copy most likely. :D

Regardless of what happens here though its not definite. This is only one map, but it should give us a good indication either way.

Can't wait to try out the beta no matter how much vram is used. I know ill be sitting pretty regardless of vram or grunt.

Houston we have a problem!

Keep getting this error message when trying to download the BF4 Beta.

Will have to try again later/tomorrow i guess. Ironically i googled the error message and it indicates a lack of vram.

My reaction is similar to this mans.

Yeah i got an infraction but that was it. Swearing is not a thing i would normally think twice about (happy home :P) but i guess there are rules inplace for the need of the many :) should have thought it through. But im touched by the warnings. Perhaps there are people out there that would miss me..? no?? arrgh come on!

This forum is full of jobsworths.
