** EPIC ATI 6970 DEAL: MSI Twin FrozR III 6970 ONLY £269.99 Inc. VAT **

i'd imagine this overclocks similar to the lightning version which you can find benchmarks for (also sells at £60 more with core up'd to 940)

Will this beast fit into a silverstone rv02?

You could get a ps3 and xbox 360 together for that price

I like buying expensive, shiny stuffs. PS3 and Xbox 360 is not shiny enough.

You could stick an xbox and ps3 together and still not get the raw performance of that card. Its a very good buy at that price.

is that not what finance is for? just get two and im sure you'll meet the criteria.

 

[Troezar]

Really tempted by this but think I'll wait to see what 7950 prices are like. I have a 2560x1440 monitor might make more sense....

 

[TheYoungster]

Your gonna be lookping at £400 ish i reckon at most, £375 minimum if you are lucky and OcUk are feeling generous

Ordered yesterday with the free postage option and it arrived today.

Thanks chaps.

Hmm...has anyone else bought one of these, as I think mine has a problem. There are a bunch of LEDs on the board, most are green but the last 4 are red, and I have no signal. The manual are also really basic and don't explain the LED meanings.

 

[dwskillz]

hmmm red mean's its faulty i believe. Someone else posted with the same issue.

I ordered one today so hopefully its not faulty when it arrive's =/

Just found this on the MSI forum:

its normal, its APS feature,
dynamic adjust phases[14 (for gpu) monitored from total 18(remaining are: 3 for memory + 1 for PLL)] depend of load to save power
4 burning reds means that currently VGA is in full load [Phases: 11,12,13,14 light in red and 1-10 light in green]

Ok, that explains the red LEDs, but not the no signal.

 

[Carl_Bennetts]

What does VGA in full load actually mean? Like it's being stressed?? Might be a silly question but i don't see how it can be in VGA full load when i actually boot the computer!

If you do end up RMA'ing it be aware they only refund £12.50 of the postage, i sent mine back in the box it came in which cost £17.95 via royal mail only to be told they'll only refund £12.50 of it.

The misses has posted mine back. Special Deliv. More than £12.50 but wanted to make sure they got in time to sort another out before the end of the year.

We all seem to have some sort of issue with this model? Any reason for this?

Hmm...this is the first time I've had to RMA to OcUK. The competition sends a courier to collect.

I'm guessing like people say, AMD is getting despite after the epic fail on Bulldozer and going money hungry, and hoping to get as much money as possible from people with more money than sense from the GPU side of their business....

Isn't that all business practises when u have the leading edge at any given time to gouge the prices of items while the comp is behind you?
