7950 vs 7970

[newcomputer20]

Is the 7970 really worth 1/3 more for a little increase in performance? Will it overclock better or some other factor i'm overlooking ?

If the 7970 is only a little more, I'd get it. If it's quite a lot more, I'd stick to a 7950.

There isn't a massive performance increase and you could overclock a 7950 to 7970 spec and get the same performance.

Thats what i figured but its 100 pounds more expensive over here. I think ill get the 50

Hey I'm in the UK too - assuming you're in the UK?

Yeah I'd save yourself £100 and go for a 7950.

 

[newcomputer20]

Yep, i live down south.

 

[spirit]

Lucky. Love it down there. It's nice here too in Norfolk though.

 

[newcomputer20]

Anywhere near norwich? I have relatives there and know it well.

 

[spirit]

Yeah, very close to Norwich. About 10 miles away from it.

while we are on the subject could that 7950 run 3 monitors in eyefinity well?
