Re: PC Gaming

Its a dual GPU so just like xfire, witch can bring new problems. Would much rather use a single gpu. Am not waiting on nvidia if there gpu's do turn out to be superb i'll sell 7950 and buy there one.

7950 looks good, more physical memory than the 580 1.5GB and for the same price.  Once there are better and more optimised drivers released it should gain a bigger performance boost.  Heard there's alot of overclocking headroom for it aswel.



Have you heard about the big daddy of the series? The 7990 runs Skyrim at 1080p with 2K HD and Lighting HDR mods at over 200fps, no overclock. My card struggles at 60fps :smileyvery-happy:



Haven't heard anything about the 7990, only one can imagine what the cost of that would be.  Skyrim is more CPU intensive though no?

Re: PC Gaming

Any reason why you picked the XFX one over the Sapphire version? They're both the same price so i'm just wondering.

Re: PC Gaming

I always choose ATi and AMD over nVidia and Intel, but that's just because I've used them for years without problem.

Re: PC Gaming

Just a heads up, Gotham City Imposters is now out.

Steam are doing it for £12, just boughti t and downloading it now. Chose getting it on PC over Xbox, think there will be more people playing it for longer (As is usually the case)

Both are cheaper here but the XFX is not overclocked, you could do it yourself as this version is already in stock and cheaper.

I think I got confused then, because the one I am trying to refer is a the most powerful single GPU on the market. 7980 or something?
