Speedway Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 That ASUS MARS 2 I linked is quite a good pick. Only 1300 euros. Only? I'm sure Waco feels the same way, but I personally loved my 5970! It was completely viable when I had one and is still today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 No multi-gpu issues. Lower heat and power consumption. less expensive, and just as powerful. What is less expensive and just as powerful? The 5970 is nearly as fast as a 7970 and it's a lot older. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. My hd 7950 is even much faster then a 5970. A 7970 is miles ahrd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 No. My hd 7950 is even much faster then a 5970. A 7970 is miles ahrd You keep thinking that. I score very similarly to a reasonably overclocked 7970. I'm pretty confident of that, considering the machine sitting behind me has a 7970. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Yup! It maxes out the sliders in CCC with no issues. We tried pushing it further with Afterburner but didn't have a whole lot of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
