Furry muff. The PSU was worth £107 so even at £479 it was still a good deal.

He's right you know. There is no mention of a free psu at that price in the product description. That's bloody misleading!! In that case the 7990 is not a option as that would be £500 for a card and psu and i doubt the 7990 is £100 better than SLI 670 let alone £200 better. Shame really.

What about this deal??? Obviously not as good as 370 with PSU, but surely still pretty good? ( I think I just need people to tell me how great it is so it justifies me ordering it)

I just had a look and the psu is no longer included. Just the card now.

I cant understand why they keep lowering the prices on this card! I know its old tech now but its a beast of a card. Fill your boots I say.......

It provides a better overall experience over my 7950 crossfire setup. It has its caveats, but so did my previous setup.

This better be good LTMatt.
Its good. I just hope you have a decent side exhaust fan or two, or in my case four.

Looks good! I was hoping to get mine today, must have misread it saying Monday? I bought on a Sat early morning so thought maybe DPD picked up then and dropped of Monday. Ah well, one more day of using my radiators to heat the room.

THe card dumps heat in the case so it can help to either have a good side exhaust fan or remove some spare pci brackets from the back of your case and ensure you have a highly positive pressure case.
The only disappointing thing about my card is the coil whine. I'm hopeful that will wear off after some use though. I game with headphones so its a non issue for me luckily. Thats the only bad thing so far. Luckily it only has some whine during gaming and high fps. At desktop and idle it has none.

Well my 7970 had it quite bad in high fps but now is almost completely gone. Hopefully this will be the same!
Caporegime
Yeah my 7970 had it as well. It certainly does wear off after time.
You posted a potential fix for the hard locks which happen during driver install, could you point me in the right direction I can't get drivers installed at all at the moment!

I am really miffed about this. I spotted the deal just before ordering the OcUK one and double taked the 'with PSU'. I ordered it on Saturday and the finance approved it the following day (Sunday) with it still in the description.
Where do I stand on this should I push it and expect the PSU or take it on the chin as it is still a reasonable price? What I don't get is the last time they done this, without the PSU it dropped to £370 or something which made it an amicable discount. This time round it stayed at same price just changed product description mid sale.
