6870->660Ti(?)

OCZ springs to mind there! Never had any issues with any of there stuff

Talking about OCZ, i had a OCZ 550w Fatality power supply. Few days of using 6870 made it lose some . . liquid . . . i still don't know whats up but that psu is still operational even though an unknown oil-ish substance leaked out of the side of that psu. . . good i had the AX850 ready in time . . .


//and by operational i mean i gave it to my "friend" for free but surprisingly it didn't burn down his house or anything and it is supplying his little phenom with power as we speak. I am somewhat disappointed.

I decided that if a guy (@PetrolHead247) having GTX670 is non fanboyish enough to suggest me radeon, i should probably listen to him x) [that is a joke, I studied to much, looking at graphs and comparisons just gave me headache so i throw a coin and there you go: ]

I just ordered this (steady 950version, no boost) . Should arrive tomorrow morning. Any follow up advices or requests like "make a photo of your dirty* PC case"?

That should be an excellent addition to your rig. I believe the Sapphire cards are supposed to be very quiet and the 7950 has the rep of being a very good OC'er.

Its been a while since I did a gpu overclocking though. Since this model doesnt have a dualbios switch, what should i do if i fuck up oc settings and see just the black screen? I mean how do i reset the card back to default settings without beeing able to see what the hell i am doing.

They don't normally do that.

They'll blackscreen, drivers crash, and reset to idle clocks and so they'll recover on their own - or just blue screen...

Basically, OC settings are only applied under load, so as soon as anything resets or restarts, they go back to like 150mhz or something low like that.
