Salam guys, just checked out the reivew for the godly GPU, finally an answer to nvidia's kepler gpus, have your comments.

Asus Matrix HD 7970 Platinum Review - Overclockers Club

The GPu is a collectors card... ITs available at a realy good price and is meant ONLY for those who want to overclock... Running this card at stock is a waste of money

well i didn't see the price, what's the price? normal one has 439$ i guess, and without even overclocking this gpu, it still beats all other version of 7970 and gtx 680

 

[haroonshaikh]

Its around 480 dollars for platinum edition. It has just 50mhz speed boost over the 7970Ghz edition, but its overclocking potential is amazing...

awesome GPU ///////////////

 

[aardwolfe]

ASUS rock, all da thanks to direct CUII
always great potential of overclocking in asus GPUs, but m happy that it beat nvidia gtx680 this time

 

[kami2k]

Hope it will be stable and temperature friendly at o.c

 

[mave3]

it sure is a killer card...
gr8 overclocking potential....

 

[aardwolfe]

hope i'll buy 7990 after two years , when i start earning, huh 1.5y to go
beats nvidia everywhere except BF3 which is highly nvidia sponsored game

Wil this or any high end card like 670 or 680, b bottlenecked by a 2nd gen i5 2310 proc?
Will these cards perform beter in 3450 or 3570 ivybridg ??

core i5 is more than enough to utlize this GPU potential

agree with [MENTION=695]haroonshaikh[/MENTION] but it would be zyadti if you use i5 2nd gen with such cards, minimum 3rd generation is advised

Ur answer is diplomatic. At once u r agrying wid haroon and then saying its ziyadti?
Jese haroon bhai ne kaha k 2nd gen i5 (he just said i5) buht hai is kism k cards ko jhelny k lye, phr ap kehty ho k ziyadti hai aisa q? Jb 2nd gen same perform karega to 3rd gen ko leny ki kia zrurt?
Need a clear answer bro.
Though i dont hav such high end card but just for info i'm asking.

Yes! A 2nd. gen i5 would be PLENTY. An overclocked i5 or an i7 will laugh if you throw something like GTX 680 on it. :lol:

 

[aardwolfe]

the fact is that 2nd gen is getting old, all da pg members shiftin to ivy's
not much difference in the performance of 2500k and ivy 3570k, but newer is better and of course we all have the itch for the newest hardware

i dun think a second gen core i5 can bottleneck heavy gpu ..untill u play on 1920 x 1080 if ur resolution is 1680X 1050 then u atleast need 2500k a lil bit overclocked

 

[Baghi]

if ur resolution is 1680X 1050 then u atleast need 2500k a lil bit overclocked

Nah. A lower clocked i5 will trouble when paired with 2 x high-end GPUs in SLI/CFX on low resolutions.

not at all, stock i5 2500k would do enough to top up your game at 1080p, totally disagree with you bro, even i3 540 first gen can give u maximum performance on this resolution at stock and with good gpu like 6790 or gtx460 or likewise, first gen i3 beats the crap out of i3 2100 when over cloked to 4ghz, i've tested the benchmarks

 

[oldschoolgamer]

well i think baghi and arrdwolf are right sorry if i mislead any body ..

no bro your statement is right that 2nd gen i5 won't bottleneck heavy gpu, even 1st gen i5 overclocked to 3.5-4Ghz won't bottleneck heavy GPU like gtx580 and likewise
but playing at 1080p, even i3 1st and 2nd gen can handle 1080p gaming with decent GPU
