AMD 7970
« on: January 09, 2012, 03:09:17 pm »
The new AMD HD7970 graphics card has been launched on time as expected. The first 28nm GPU and supposedly something special. Mind you it does come in at about £450 so not cheap.

Just seen these on Scan UK Wow! For the price of one of these babies I can build a whole new rig!

Hi all,  ;)

For that priceI prefer to buy a flat screen TNT 26-27 inches.

ASUS VE278Q or VK278Q or PA246Q

Trouble is you will still need a good card to run it. I do think it is a bit much for the starting price though.

Hi Dark Mantis,  :D
