It's really up to you, look at the two cards and see if the specs are any different. I always buy EVGA for Nvidia stuff and haven't had a single problem with my 550 Ti.
Linus just curious if you recorded this a while ago because you said you've never seen the card but in your 680 acoustics testing and power consumption you had this exact card featured in the video?
@fliesenfuzzi that is because you have a non-reference PCB. Meaning that your PCB was re-designed and built by Sapphire. There is a reason they chose to use 2 8-pins, forgot why though.
Came here when upgrading my home theatre PC trying to work out if there's actually any point replacing my Sapphire 7970 GHz edition. Conclusion: Nope! Helluva card still pushing out decent FPS at 1080P in AAA titles.
KingOguzhan12 they would cost about what the X1 costs with just that as an APU 8 core CPU + 32 CU GCN core APU as a chip would have cost about $100 - $150 more than the current APU
KingOguzhan12 i should be clear ... i am speaking on the PS4 APU ... it cost $99 .... i would pay $500-$600 for a console that was 3 times the power of the X1, able to run games in ultra graphic, 60fps .... it would have ensured the PS4 complete and total domination of this generation (i think this is happening anyway). you need to remember that price of the chip is reduced with orders of bulk. and in Sony's case it's orders of 100 million+. this is why AMD is making such a huge profit margin from the consoles. (the consoles APU are their biggest market) we are going to have 2 opportunities .. nay, excuse me, 3 opportunities for a revolution ... 1) the chinese company that will be getting into the console market space 2) NINTENDO .... of they decide to release a NES for the new age 3) an amalgam of development houses seeing this age as the phenomenon it is and release together a custom made steam machine on better footing than the PS4 (which is on very good footing right now) 4) Amazon ..... instead of that ridiculous feeler console they did ... had a custom made APU in the vein of what was mentioned earlier, with some real competition (yes i know i said 3 previously but i just remembered amazon) .... the fact is that there is a huge space open for AMD APUs right now, and i am surprised that more people are not taking advantage of such a huge and open chasm of a gap for a third competitor in the console space.
It has the 4-pin and it has 2 x 8pin PCI-E and 4 x 6+2pin PCI-E. So there is plenty of cables you can use, also its modular so ones you don't need can be removed so they aren't in the way.
Thanks. Yeah, i eventually went for a xfx 7950 black edition, it barely fits in my midi-tower case, i have to leave the side panel off to avoid damaging the two 6 pin pcie power plugs. I'm thinking of switching to a Cosmos 2 and a 750w psu at least,
An active adapter can convert a signal from one connector to another. That's basically what eyefinity is all about. The only way to get eyefinity running is to get a minidisplay port monitor or get an active adapter.
Please tell me which card do you think is better, This one of the XFX Double D OC 1000mh. Do you think i should wait for more non-reference cards come out to see if they put something else out that blows these two away for the same pricepoint within the next month or is this the cream of the crop for this gen.
Thanks sooo much! I was worried that my PC Power & Cooling 750 watt MKII wouldn't provide enough connections for this install. I see that it comes with adapters, and that's a huge deal. Thanks again!!!
I like this one, I was gonna get the Asus DirectCUII design, but I think I'll get this one. Do you know if one of these cards is enough to drive 3x1080p on demanding games like Crysis 1 and ArmA 2 (antialiasing off) with smooth framerates on highest settings? Or would I need at least 2 of these?
The extra GB of VRAM doesn't make a difference even at 5760x1080 4xAA BF3, nor in any other game at the moment. 7970 catches up at those settings though, but it's not because it has more VRAM.
Thumbs up Slick!! Im thinking of buying this EXACT card. But im upgrading from crossfire ASUS HD7770 GHz edition setup. I do see issues with microstuttering and just want something single card and faster. Would you recommend this card over what I have already?? My system: i7 920 @ stock speed 16Gb Vengence DDR3 Asus P6T SE mainboard.
what most people don't know is that 7970 was underclocked and because nvidia came out later they released there card with a higher clock both cards can reach under the same conditions similar clock ratings the 7970 even higher thus from a overclockers perspective 7970 is the thing too go plus 3 gb ram never hurts
I've got a quick question about these dual-bios graphics cards: do I need to turn my computer off before slipping the switch, or can I leave the computer on while flipping the switch?
go with the 7970. You're really getting what you pay for with the 7970, and also physx really isnt used in alot of good games unless you count borderlands 2 or batman arkham city
7970 beats or matches the 680 in every benchmark ive seen 0.o and it's same price as a 670. how did you come to the conclusion that a 680 is better than a 7970?
The FPS will be slightly lower stock on a 7970 vs. the 670. Though if the 7970 OC's better than the 670. And the 7970 is more power efficient. I would go with the GHz edition as well, because it's only about 50$ more for a 10-15 FPS boost. So if you are comfortable with OCing go with 7970, if not 670.
The 7970 overclocks like a beast and runs games at high resolutions and lot's of AA very well. The 670 has better stock performace in many games and uses less power, but will suffer when you apply a lot of AA and doesn't overclock very well.
Nice, maybe sell my sapphire 7970 with the reference cooler, because the fan is too loud when i overlock it and whe it needs to get the cooled under heavy load.
Well ventilated case.....hm....I think my Akasa ZEN V2 might not be good enough (and barely big enough, i just measured from the back of the case to the drive rack, comes in at about 12.5/13 inches) for this card, unless i leave the side off all the time. How easy are they to de-dust? Oh, and is a 550 Watt PSU strong enough for this thing?
Hi, I’m want to buy this card but I’m not sure whether I should go for Sapphire HD 7970 OC or Sapphire HD 7970 OC with Boost. Could you please recommend one?
i just got a new Gigabyte 7970 which is pcie 3.0/16x, prior to this card i had a radeon 5870 pcie 2.0/16x, that card shows as (PCI-E 2.0x16@x16 2.0) with GPUZ, now when i installed my gigabyte 7970 card it only reads as (PCI-E3.0x16@x8 1.1) but 3.0 when running 3D application. My question is why is the MB(Asrock z77 extreme4) only detecting the 7970 as an 8x card and not full 16x lane? how can that be changed to 16x like my old card detected? will it be a performance hit from x16 to x8?
are u sure 450W is enough..? i'm planning on having this gpu but still have doubt bcoz i only have 500W psu.. Lot of people said at least u got to have 550W even though it say 500W is enough on the box requirement..
I think it would fit in a mid tower if it is a midtower that let's you remove some of the drive cages, I have a 6970 and it just about fit in my HAF 912 without me removing any of the cages and I assume the 7970 isn't that much longer than the 6970
he works for NCIX, a computer part retailer that supplies him with these cards/chips/psu's/kitchen knives for review. He may also get sample or unreleased parts from the manufacturer themselves if said manufacturer wants some advertising, at the cost of giving away a free part.
I would say gtx 680 just because it's less hot and is more energy efficient. The 590 probably does out perform on some benchmarks though which is to be expected since it's basically 2 gtx 570 jammed into one card.
vga, dvi and hdmi are all HD and and can run 1920 x 1080 60 hz and i think all three are capaple of even higher resolutions if your monitor supports it dvi and hdmi uses digital signals which is good vga uses analog signals which is not so good search wikipedia for detailed specs
doesn't matter if it isn't OC'ed. my 7970 OC's in CCC to 1125/1575 with no voltage or temp increase. not sure why they just didn't make this default, every 7970 is OC'ed to that lol
so u think my Huntkey 500 jumper can handle this..? it has 80plus certified but not in bronze just a plain white 80plus sticker..(white and bronze 80plus,are there any different..?)
my stock sapphire 7970 has dual bios. I have a crazy fan profile so my max temps are 60C at 1300 core clock and 1650 memory. I don't notice the noise because I either have headphones or my 1000W 5.1
Do the Dual X test inside a case, tests show Twin Frozr II 580 is very cool, but in my case its not. I have spend a lot of time figuring out better airflow but no succes. Think putting it inside a case is a more realistic test then on a test bench.
I know (it will be out with win 8)...its not out just yet, but was wondering if the 7970 series card (that one in particular) supports it...read some things that supposedly only the 7970 and above cards will support dx 11.1, and the ones below stop at dx11... (from the currently released models)
In highly synthetic circumstances yes, nothing that you will ever see in a real gaming or video editing scenario. There is a negligible difference, I mean it's not even worth noting it's that small of a difference. It also depends on what type of hardware, what type of PCI controller you have, the bandwidth (16X, 8X ect. ect.), and what you are doing with it.
what is the part number of this card ? so i can order the exact same i want to have this one because of my eyefinity setup and need to be sure i get those adapters
how does the noise compare to an OC gtx 670? A friend has KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 2 gig and i swear it is SILENT playing bf3 on ultra at around 50 fps. I am going for that or your review card.
PhysX is hardware limited by Nvidia, and thus is not used by hardly any major game titles. For every game that uses PhysX, there are hundreds that do not. They either use Havoc or their own proprietary engine since they are not hardware limited and can do the same effects as PhysX.
every mainboard with pcie 16x 2.0 supports graphics cards, performance of 2.0 is far enough to get the same results as in 3.0. 3.0 is needed earliest for the next or the generation after the next for graphics cards. only useful if you get a mainboard with 2 times 3.0 where one is 16 lanes and one 8 ->8 lanes on 3.0 is 16 lanes on 2.0 so you can build a sli / Crossfire system and save some money, but atm i think obviously a mobo with 2 times 16 lanes pcie 16x 2.0 is cheaper. Best regards, Agony
I have a Sapphire 4870 and I loved it, wish I would have waited for this card instead of going with XFX Black Edition 7970. XFX doesn't include accessories like Sapphire!
There is a minor advatange to GTX680 compared to HD 7970. Considering the 680 needs less power, i'd go for that. The performance is pretty much identical, the few % difference is not really noticeable
Yellow Car = 70' Camaro, 350 LT-1? No stripes (not a Camaro guy) Blue Car = 69' SS 396 Chevelle (possible 454) Orange Car = 71' Plymouth Duster 340 w/ Hemi Orange paint (i owned one :P) Green car = 69' Camaro drag prepped with slicks and Pro Stock scoop. Red Truck = 53' Chevy (I'm terrible with trucks.)
Cosair The Enthusiast Series TX750 V2. It gots all connectors 4x PCI-E for 7970. It got one powerfull line 720W and 62A so OC no problem :) I got myself 650V2 with one 6950 and on full load is using 300-400:)
How come everyone is putting so much emphasis on ATI:s 28nm process and are talking about as if it was a killer feature when the GTX 680 has a 28nm process and no one seems to remember that?
Oh good old Linus Tech TIps

this is the chip that should have been in the new consoles
But the consoles would be too expensive with this 7970 chip ...
KingOguzhan12 they would cost about what the X1 costs with just that as an APU

this is why AMD is making such a huge profit margin from the consoles. (the consoles APU are their biggest market)
we are going to have 2 opportunities .. nay, excuse me, 3 opportunities for a revolution ...
1) the chinese company that will be getting into the console market space
2) NINTENDO .... of they decide to release a NES for the new age
3) an amalgam of development houses seeing this age as the phenomenon it is and release together a custom made steam machine on better footing than the PS4 (which is on very good footing right now)
4) Amazon ..... instead of that ridiculous feeler console they did ... had a custom made APU in the vein of what was mentioned earlier, with some real competition (yes i know i said 3 previously but i just remembered amazon)

All this time later might as well get the HD 7990, except you again
need CF to take full advantage of that card.
I just got one question for you, why did you go AMD for your cpu? just wondering.
is this a good card? or is there a better card?
in this or lower price range?
depends on many things, how much do you want ot spend, what games you want to play, if you find some good offers etc.

Does the fans on non-reference cards pulls air onto the card, or are they pushing air away, so air will come in from the sides of the card?
how? every review and benchmarks i have seen show the 680 is better on paper but performs identically to the 7970.. so how is the 7970 better?

Why was this one a black PCB and the only available ones have blue ones?
I just found one of these cards in a PC someone left at my work. I'm excited to try and old GPU

is that a wallpaper or is it painted on the wall,, that is a cool car design pattern,, i love it !!!

I mean like blue screen while playing games, like bad drivers and stuff,but how many is this out of?
Cosair The Enthusiast Series TX750 V2. It gots all connectors 4x PCI-E for 7970. It got one powerfull line 720W and 62A so OC no problem :) I got myself 650V2 with one 6950 and on full load is using 300-400:)
Why this video takes place at Slick's place?
How come everyone is putting so much emphasis on ATI:s 28nm process and are talking about as if it was a killer feature when the GTX 680 has a 28nm process and no one seems to remember that?
Will the Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced count as a decent case with good airflow?
DVI supports up to 2560x1600 while VGA can only go up to 2560x1440 I'm not sure about HDMI but I think it only supports 60hz at 1920x1200
I would like to see a review of Slick's room, maybe with a comparison to reference rooms.
:D
6990 is a dual GPU meaning that in some games they wont scale properly, it also has less vram.
