Hey all.
TL DR @ Bottom
After having some troubles earlier on in the year I never did manage to purchase the 7950 I was seeking - other things cropped up.
I've now been looking at the graphics card market again the last week or two and have finally settled on getting a 7870 - almost to the exact card actually but I just need some help on shedding some light on this particular card.
It's the MSI 'Dual fan' 7870 [manf code: R7870-2GD5T/OC] - Every where I can find it, it seems to be eye-brow-raisingly cheap, I'm wondering if there is a particular reason for this?
Is it such a low-end 7870 that it's barely even considered a 7870? Even though I know that's a pathetic suggestion but I am truly baffled.
Or could the price just reflect the fact that the other products in that model range from MSI are much more well equipped (for oc-ing basically).
The only other thing I can think of, is this MSI's "polished" reference 7870?
But yeah, can anyone shed any light on this model? Because I'm ready to hit the buy button, but I'm just a teeeny weeeny bit hesitant.
Thanks.
TL|DR -> Anyone know anything about this MSI 7870, R7870-2GD5T/OC - and why it's respectively cheaper than any other card (for now anyway) - I can't even find reviews.
