    IRRELEVANT!: I Don't want to show off but. I was able to sell my old Radeon Hd 6950 for almost 120£ (GBP) and bought the 7970 for 362.12£. Which I find be cheap, considering the cheapest GTX 680 I could find was 55£ more expensive. Ok I have plugged it all in (using an adapter for the 1st...

    I have looked at all 4 of them! :cry: .... and non of them has two 8 pin connectors. Only 1 6 pin connector and 1 6/8 pin connector! I think the 14day return policy is a bit overdue. What do I make of FOUR 6 & 6/8 pin connectors? I could use an adapter, but that would just seem stupid if I'm...

    Sorry to bug you guys again. But about that PSU "problem". So I finally got a Sapphire 7970 HD vapor-x GHz edition with 3gb gddr5 ram. I watched an unboxing just so I would know what to expect... But mine is a little different then the one I saw on YouTube. Mine as two 8 pin connectors. I'm...

    Noted (Forgot I had such a thread going). Quick question I posses the power to delete/disable threads I have made right? I wish to remove most of the threads posted by me.

    i7 3820 vs i7 3930k

    I got swept under the excitement of upgrading... And the reason as to why I am changing to Intel is so I get better support, and though my 8150 is great! (well aware of it) I am also changing to Intel in hope to avoid all the hassle with my Sabertooth 990FX, which could also be a problem with my...

    i7 3820 vs i7 3930k

    Thanks. I was probably going to purchase it anyways, unless I won the lottery or something :p Two quick questions before you leave, 1st Will the i7 3820 beat my FX-8150 really hard? 2nd What motherboard would go nicely with the CPU? I was thinking ASUS Rampage IV Extreme, but the...

    i7 3820 vs i7 3930k

    To put this in a nutshell, I have to say like this: The 3820 has scored great on the 3DMark hardware channel, so has the 3930k. But would it be worth paying almost twice as much for a hexa-core CPU? I am planning on using my new CPU primarily for high performance gaming... ultra high. I'm...

    Thanks for the suggestions.... But since I don't live in the US (assume that you guys are. no offense intended) I'd have to pay a bit more then 300$. For example: the 7950 in my country can cost up to 565,39 USD

    Alright, thanks for the heads up. Has there been set a release date for the 8000-series? If not (and not released soon), I would probably purchase a 7970. But After looking a bit closer. I noticed that the Powercolor 7970 (listed above) requires 2x 8-pin PCI express power connectors. My...
