PP Mguire Build Guru Messages 32,592 Location Fort Worth, Texas Dec 14, 2012 #2 Indeed it was. I would have gone for a 660ti instead though.
OP OP S smiti363 Solid State Member Messages 6 Location Ireland Dec 15, 2012 #3 The 660ti was about 30 euro more expensive than the Gigabyte 7950 3GB
OP OP S smiti363 Solid State Member Messages 6 Location Ireland Dec 15, 2012 #4 And would my CPU not bottleneck any of the 7950 performance?
PP Mguire Build Guru Messages 32,592 Location Fort Worth, Texas Dec 15, 2012 #5 No not really. If you have a 1080p resolution then most of the work will be on the GPU itself.
OP OP S smiti363 Solid State Member Messages 6 Location Ireland Dec 15, 2012 #6 my screen is 1400x900

OP OP S smiti363 Solid State Member Messages 6 Location Ireland Dec 16, 2012 #9 It's a BFG GTX 280 OC 1GB... you live in US so that would be a bit tricky wouldn't it?
Bregadon In Runtime Messages 122 Location Arizona,USA Dec 16, 2012 #10 Yeah I live in Arizona so the shipping alone would probably be too much lol
