I don't know much about these cards but can you use your single HD 7970 as the primary card for output and the HD 7990 xfired to it.

Im not going to xfire them both. So 7990 is primary card.

Its amazing how little info is online

Problem.... vtx3d 7990

The bottom dvi port is broken but is that the dual link or single port!?!

I will be screwed if its the dual link thats dead as I gave a 30" hazro!

The io plate on the club3d model has letters dvi-d at top and vcd at bottom port.

Help!

Did your HD7970 not come with a displayport to DVI adapter? pity the Hazro only has DVI input or you could just use a displayport cable.

Yup, Was mad

Hope it works out fella.

Its doubtful he got same day delivery, I think he wanted to see if it was the same seller/card you found that had apparently been received already.

The auction ended yesterday.. unless 2 7990's sold at 410 pounds with a faulty dvi port then the buyer has left positive feedback. 271211257728

Yep, Though i'm wondering why the chap who won it has been given feedback as a fast payment? Unless that's a simple generic feedback from the seller. Hummm

I have a fedex tracking number for it though and i spoke to the chap on the phone.

Im just trying my darnest to find the info about which DVI is which :mad:

Hope it works out for you man, if it does you've got a bargain right there.

Diagro · 28 May 2013 at 17:54

Updated the OP to better reflect the situation

Thanks, Knowing my luck it wont though

From the pic now in the OP, it clearly says DVI-D next to the top DVI port.

Good luck Diagro. Man who buys possible non working card from ebay has big balls, especially when said card is £400. Does make you wonder why they didn't RMA it though.

It seems the seller is a business who mostly sells broken things

Well i have contacted VTX3d directly, Going to see if they will RMA it if indeed the Dual link DVI is the problem one.

if they do then happy days.

Diagro · 28 May 2013 at 21:10

Greeeattt. They used a 3 day cheap fedex

Heh, I was actually watching the very same auction! Ended up a little too risky for my likings though. Hard to be too disappointed since I managed to snag a GTX 670 for a bargain today xD

Still, I've bought a card from the same seller previously (they tend to have a lot of what I assume are RMA'd/'B-grade' goods that go up in batches), which I had a problem with (black screen 7850 whenever you tried to run a game). I sent them an email message and the person helping me out was extremely polite and helpful; they cross-shipped a replacement card and the FedEx guy picked up the faulty one to take back at the same time. Needless to say I was very impressed with the service, since it was a mile better than what most 'brand new' companies offer. Replacement card has been working like a charm ever since. I probably got lucky that they had another of the same card in stock though.

So hopefully if you run in to any issues they'd take care of you too.
