New video card finally ordered

Right - originaly I started out looking at the 7870 due to price and well it would be a nice upgrade over my 6870....

Then bitcoins decided to leap in value 🙂 so I sold mine a little early than I should of at 47.8 a coin *kicks himself*

So I was bouncing between the 7870 TX/LE and 7950 - after much debate......and then seeing this deal which bounced my other deal out.....I've ordered

https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecial...raphics+Card+++5+FREE+GAMES!+?productId=53474

Once I get it I'll be posting up benches 🙂 52 pounds less than 7950 - and about 2% difference at normal speed at 1080p since I have 2 of the games I'm pretty sure I won't have an issue selling those on lowering my cost even more.....🙂

Upgrading for free got to love that 😀
 
Shit they're giving away all 5 over there? Damn, here in the States you can get $100 total for them fairly easily.
 
I'm hoping its 2 to 3 game cards that come with my card.......that way if its the old reloaded bundle which sleeping dogs and hitman was part of......then farcry 3.....and new one with TR and BI 🙂

make it easier to sell them 🙂
 
Thanks Shmee 🙂 as soon as it comes I'll see what benches I can run 🙂 give a better idea - but for 180 pounds + 5 games.......I don't think I could of found a better deal - not sure on the single fan design........

but all the reviews say the heat pipe works well and the fan isn't too noisy - as its the same as powercolor PCS+ if I really dislike - I'll snag a custom cooler 🙂
