Really good deal for anyone looking to buy a graphics card and of course it comes with the Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite.

I would buy if I could find some 7950 waterblocks.

WOW, This was the GPU that I wanted, Probably should jump on it!

The Sapphire for $270 isn't bad either

What the difference between this one and the saphhire? a worthy upgrade from a 470 gtx?

Should be quite the upgrade. I got a 7870xt which performs on par with the 7950 and it is roughly equivalent in performance to my dual 5870's. (A tad slower before overclocking) Given the fact a 470 and a 5870 are roughly on par you should see a sizable performance increase.

$250 for a 7950 + Free Games?

This is definitely an instant buy for someone looking for a high end GPU!

I already got my XFX 7950 but no free games =/

The difference is you can OC the 7950 a bit and get every higher performance. I have my 7950 DD @ 950ghz and I haven't gotten higher than mid 70s.

This is creeping in on 7870 XT price, great deal.

I replaced two 470's with a single 7950, so it's definitely a worthy upgrade. The Sapphire card has a better cooler and should allow for a higher overclock and lower temps. It'll probably run quieter as well.

@HaunteR that seems quite high for such a mild overclock.

Oh I know that! It was merely a point of reference to answer EpiDx's question.

 

[Hokies83]

Question is does it use a 7970 PCB?

 

[CaptainChaos]

Nope, it's a reference 7950 PCB

There's only one 7950 remaining that still uses a 7970 PCB and it's usually out of stock.

 

[Hokies83]

Damn anyway to confirm this?

Looking for a Water block...

 

[CaptainChaos]

http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/step1_complist

you can check any card on there for compatability. The only remaining 7950 that is for sure still using a 7970 PCB is this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161429

There's also a chance that some Twin Frozr 3's may still use the 7970 PCB but there are no guarantees.

I actually just went through the same thing and I was able to snatch up the HIS card I linked above when it was in stock for like 2 seconds lol

for anyone interested, this waterblock should work. Although it's not really in stock atm, you can order and they'll ship when it is in stock.

[Hokies83]

A dead give away: any 7950 with a coolers in the middle uses a 7950 PCB and not a 7970 one.

 

[TheBenson]

Pretty sure the Vapor X 7950 is still 7970 pcb, I bought last week and it has two 8 pin connectors.

 

[CaptainChaos]

The vapor X uses a custom PCB. There are not full cover blocks for it.

Reference PCB's mainly use 8+6 pin connectors.

 

[Hokies83]

Anybody else having issues at check out? trying ot get my 3rd one and it says Promo code error please try again...

There is an issue with promo code EMCYTZT3014. Please check promo code again or contact customer service.

 

[crackzattic]
