Title: Little advice please... Post by: SNAZ31 on May 06, 2013, 09:44:14 PM So I plan to add a second card to my PC, currrently I have a 7970 and I could go for another 7970 or I was thinking maybe the 7950... I would really prefer an overclocked 7950 which is about 260 with 4 games or the 7970 is 300 also with 4 games...
I know a lot will say gpu's are dead ect and yes I know about the asics, but still, which would you go for? Title: Re: Little advice please... Post by: brucemangy on May 06, 2013, 10:08:58 PM you are not going to get your money back ... but a GPU is a GPU .. better use another 7970 for Xfire and enjoy some good looking games for a long time :>
Check if your PSU can provide enough power also. Title: Re: Little advice please...

Well I will still have some fun all the same and like you say there is the gaming option... Obviously this is not aimed and mining bitcoin btw... So what you reckon? 7950 or 7970? Power should be okay. TX750 Title: Re: Little advice please...

Post by: Ryu.Hayabusa on May 07, 2013, 01:12:06 PM For litecoin (or other scrypt coins), the 7950 is a good card. TX750 maximum for 7950s would be 2.
