These are the 1100 core edition. I bought a few and ended up not needing these two. They were purchased a few days ago. Asking $500 in BTC. Free shipping anywhere.

Had 4 people PM asking me $500 for both? What are you guys smoking? They are new I paid $450. Just trying to see if anybody here wants them for $50 bump for BTC purchase instead of cash. I'm including free shipping local or international. If nobody wants them I will return them for refund.

Not trying to say not to return them, but consider any restocking fee you may have to pay.

You may end up losing money returning them.

I have 30 days to return them for full refund. You can flash the bios to unlock the voltage. Gigabyte locked it cause the stock core is already high and people were pumping more volts in them for higher clocks then RMAing them when they burned out.

I'd return them for a refund.

I think the ~$300 7950s are more appealing to miners.  I hear they outperform 7970s at Scrypt.

This is not true, it is HARDWARE locked. Nothing a bios flash can do.

Scyth is correct. Gigabyte chose to use a non-reference PCB with their choice of voltage controller so a bios flash may be able to raise the voltage if you change that value, but you will not have on the fly software voltage control.

Incorrect. I have been able to unlock the voltage control by flashing a new bios, but according to the forums I seem to be the minority.

This is true I have 2X7970 and 6X7950, HD 7950s get slightly more like 10-15 KH over HD 7970
