Agreed. Good deal but I'm after something with a bit more grunt, that or 770 deal?
Or 280x, such a gratefully lot. + vote.
Shipping is only 7.20 for me? cant be right….
And I paid $299 for my 7970. Definitely a good deal if I haven't got my wires crossed and these perform like a 7970 or slightly better.
It's the 280x that is the 7970, it's why I'm looking for another to crossfire.
Thanks. Damn "x". Looks like the 7970 slightly outperforms the 280. Oh well. My bad and thanks for the info!
Yeah they throw the X's and 50's and Ti's in just to confuse you ;)
@pin4e: Ti's are a plus, it's the "SE" editions (Slow Edition) you have to watch out for from NVidia.
@pin4e: No kidding, I had two of those things a couple of years back. They were okay in SLI on games that actually made of use of them, but for anything that didn't have an optimised SLI profile or just plain-old didn't support SLI; one card was just too piss-poor to run anything made after 2011.
Ive got an asus 7970 dcii top…. would this be a good upgrade ?
Not at all worth it. Wait for the next generation or buy another for crossfire
(You might even be able so xfire with this card, at the lower clocks?)
Thx… I thought as much…. xfire not an option… the Top is a beast of a card size wise and not enough room for another one in my case
The R9 280 is a lower-tier card than your 7970. See this post for a break-down of how AMD's new naming convention relates to the HD 7000 series.
The R9 280X is a re-badged 7970 Ghz Edition with the only tangible improvement being lower power consumption.
You're looking at a R9 290/GTX 780 for a definite upgrade. See Tom's Hardware GPU Hierarchy Chart.
Radeon HD 7950/Radeon HD 7950 Boost = Radeon R9 280
Does that mean a Gigabyte 7950 would also support 4K resolution?
The maximum supported resolution on all HD 7950s is 2560x1600 via DVI, and 4096x2160 via DisplayPort or HDMI but from user experience it's not smooth sailing even with two 7950s. For 4K video, it'd probably do fine, but reliable 4K gaming is a pipedream right now for anyone other than those with 4-way SLI Titans or the like.
Excellent. Thank you.
$50 (minus the shipping) less than MSY's price; pretty good.
Hmmm???
Cant find any comparison reviews on the 280, only the 280x
Is it worth spending double for the R9 290 Windforce 4GB @ $469.00 ?
280 - 7950
280x - 7970 ghzShiet! I thought I'd think about it over night, after all I have until 6:59am, didn't click that it would be EST, I'm in WA lol
Oh Well, back to keeping an eye out for a great deal on a 290 Windforce
waiting for R9 370 :/
Decent deal.. but any chance of a R9 290 special rep?
