    The 7970 Thread. Post your overclocks and experiences here:

    There probably going to be lots of activity on the forum re these new cards so I think we need some early housekeeping. Firstly, to keep the forum clean and useful, secondly so everyone has an easy experience finding what they want and keep on enjoying the forum.


    Well it's nearly release day and I know I'm going to be grabbing a 7970. Can’t wait!

    I dunno how one guy in an Asian forum did it, but he has four of these badboys.....he has a few extreme setups, think 2x Mars and Ares, LGA2011 CPUs, the works. I will try and find out more and perhaps post a link here, his hardware has to be seen to be believed.

    ProVantage has them available for order in the US... $609 listed price. I've never ordered from them, but by as far as I know they are reputable.

    I like that. Never had an XFX card, good warranties aren't they?

    Its a double lifetime warranty (i think).

    Wonder when the custom ones will start rolling out.

    i think the custom 6970 came out about a month or 2 after the initial release. so i would assume it would be around the same time frame.

    Yeah, XFX has double life time warranty and from what I've heard they're good with RMA's.

    I haven't dealt with them personally as this 6950 that I currently own is the first time I've bought an XFX card.

    Anyways, I've been under the assumption that the non-reference cards will be available on Jan 9th (launch day)..is this correct?
