hi guy's, thanks for reply's :) but keep in mind that im in norway, and the prices here are a bit different, the 7970 card cost like 677 here in norway :( Oh so pricing is high compared to u.s. pricing well that really sucks!:unhappy:

[designfjotten]

Oh so pricing is high compared to u.s. pricing well that really sucks!:unhappy:

my, too die!:crying: I have a Dell and I have heard that it is difficult to change something,himself :cunning:

[designfjotten]

mine, too die!:crying: I have a Dell and I have heard that it is difficult to change something,himself :cunning:

why? its a real quick fix realy, worked on lots of optiplex and stuff, and changed the graphics card in 5 min i think :) just have to now what to buy, thats the biggest problem with dell, and thay are so secretive of there builds, so often have to get a certified DELL personel to get it changed as a private customer, i think, but donno :(

I would go with either a7850 or the 6950 2gb with dual bios(so you could unlock the extra shaders and bump it to 6970), just because you could probably get a used one for 160 to 180. But then again the 7000 cards consumes less watts witch is good for your electrical bill.

Have you not considered an Nvidia or are you Amd only. The new gtx 670s are only a couple of frames shy of the gtx 680 and £100 less dont know what that would be where you are though.

[A Guy]

Yes, come over to the Dark Side and get a GTX670

Nothing bad against Nvidia, but i had a Nvidia card on one of my older builds, with and AMD prosessor,
and i got lots of issues with it, so until i change to Intel ill go for ATI :)
i'll bow for the Nvidia GTX 690, and looking forward to see som new killers in the future :D
