7950 Twin Frozr vs Direct CUII

[Josh Weston]

I was set on the MSI card, but having read that review, i'm now thinking about the Gigabyte. God damn.

Josh, im in the same predicament as you, keep on seeing new things, new item, different reviews and change my mind constantly.

IE, im on about getting 2 670 in SLI, but for £50 more i could go balls out andf get myself a 690 and be happy with that for 3-10 years

 

[seumasbeathan]

I wouldn't really bother with the 690, 2 670's would give better performance for a much cheaper price

the performance is very close from what i have been reading,£50 isn't much when your spending £800 and The 690 is sexy on a PCB, and it also runs alot cooler and quieter, from the reviews and stuff i have seen


But this is all off topic to the OP

 

[seumasbeathan]

Well it doesn't run cooler

I dont mind you hijacking my thread considering this started on a 7950, gone to a 670, ow on 690s

 

[Josh Weston]

Have you made up your mind anymore, James?

 

[jamesriley94]

I'm still thinking the KFA2 is the best option...

 

[Yeren]

I understand that the 690 is £800, but that green glow from the side of the GPU, is pure Legendary. put i know you wont be getting the 690

I'm thinking about it for me as it isnt every day you get given £4k from work as a thanks you for being there for 8 years. and build an awesome freaking computer that will last me a good 3-4 years if not longer why not go balls out, for me get a 690 instead of 2 670's?

thats for me anyways

 

[Yeren]

I'm still thinking the KFA2 is the best option...

that the 4gb one?

 

[jamesriley94]

No no no, 2gb.

Not really any need to get 4gb

 

[Yeren]

thats what i thought but when i googled it it came up as 4GB :S

[Josh Weston]

That's not actually a bad price for the 4gb version.

 

[Yeren]

was just about to mention the price there,

This is another of my points, people go on about getting the EVGA version fo the 670, i think its boring and vulgar, my opionion OFC. i want my computer to look awesome

 

[jamesriley94]

Yeh, it's pretty good. But I cant really afford it - nor do I really need it

 

[Josh Weston]

People go on about the EVGA version as it has the 680PCB, and can thus be watercooled easily.

 

[jamesriley94]

I think the KFA one may be too...

Anyway, I'm gunna order the KFA version i'm excited!

 

[Josh Weston]

Make sure how to tell us how it compares to your 7950

 

[jamesriley94]

I will. Performance wise I cant see it being that different, but hopefully it'll be quieter and cooler
