Muchoman1 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Hey guys, my sapphire 6970 has given up, but its still under warranty and im getting store credit from where i bought it. $350 dollars of it to be exact so im looking for the best performance out of $350 australian (even though our dollar is stronger than the us we still pay more) so look for a solution around the $300 dollar mark if your in the us im selling my whole rig to a friend in 3 weeks time, so i wont be using these cards much, ive told him what happend and he said hes fine with whatever cards as long as they give same or higher performance. i can get crossfired 7770s (sapphire 1ghz ones) for the right price, 6870s are too expensive here and there are no 6850s in stock i dont mind if its nvidia, but i have no idea about their lower end range so lets hear some solutions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 7770s in Crossfire fit the bill nicely IMHO. If you can wait a week or so I think the 7850 and 7870 should be out (based on rumors anyway). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchoman1 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Think about 7850. these are only temporary, as im selling this rig even at stock clocks they beat my 6970 by over 2000 points in vantage, im overclocking them now, probably to 1.1 or 1.2 ghz also, im thinking about what performance i can get out of kelper under water and overclocked sounds much more fun than 7770s Edited March 3, 2012 by Muchoman1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 these are only temporary, as im selling this rig Yeah because this guy thinks he's new Kepler powered rig can beat my Extreme Beast rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Yeah because this guy thinks he's new Kepler powered rig can beat my Extreme Beast rig yes, i do believe that my dual 6 core 32gb ram rig with dual 680s / triple 670s will beat your single 6 core and dual 7970s. your "extreme beast" has nothing on The Hive Edited March 3, 2012 by Muchoman1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
