This is one of the cards I'm looking to buy in the next week or 2, but one thing is It doesn't have HDMI port? only mini? Is their adapter for HDMI? I want to hook dvi-d to monitor and HDMI to my 1080p TV. Any way to do this on this card?

On your tv picture settings, may be something like. Normal, cinema, custom/user, game/pc

What tv do you have?

And just checked you get a dvi to hdmi adapter in the box

Awesome on the mini to hdmi. Is it a good card? does it run cool? That's more important then anything.


Sony Bravia KDL-46EX503. It has a game mode. I do have 4 HDMI's maybe one of them is better for gaming?

Those package contents look out dated tbh, my card came with a really long black crossfire bridge.

The first review of box contents I looked at stated Mini DP>HDMI. I'll double check whats in the box when I can be bothered to move :p

Edit: Was the guru3d review I looked at: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_radeon_hd_7970_lightning_review,2.html

You will receive the card, Molex to 8-pin PEG power converters, Crossfire bridge and a DP to HDMI converter next to the manual and drivers.

Should be the same, not like the scart where that was the case, although 1 or 2 may have auto switching but this does not impact picture, may be worth checking in your manual if one is better for gaming but its usually just a case of activating game mode

Ok thanks.

This gpu any good? I have read up a little saying it's a great card. I just need 1 really good gpu. I wont be doing crossfire..... one gpu is enough for me, but has to be a good fast and cool running gpu.
 
If you want to save trawling through gawd knows how many pages I'll be about on here for another hour or so :)
 
I'll double check when I get chance, from what I can make out it has a DVI>HDMI (small grey block connector) and MDP>HDMI (black cable to small black box).

Its a fantastic card for an overclocker.
 
Which 2 8-pin PCIe PEG connector would I need? or does it come with the card? If not can someone link me one here at ocuk.

As you can see in photo, only one 8pin is being used and that's for the 7850 I have in their now. So the 7970 msi lightning should be enough for my psu. I just need to know which 2 8-pin PCIe 3.0 plugs I need.

Thanks
