Newegg TV: PowerColor AX7950 3GBD5-2DH Radeon HD 7950 3GB Video Card Unboxing

[trashypickles]

is this a bottleneck if i pair this with the Gigabyte Z68-UD3H-B3 and the cor i5 2500k

[buzz9961]

@trashypickles nope i5 2500k is very powerful processor

[KulcanX]

@trashypickles hell no , i5 2500k is a fucking beast >=) 

[cadaverock]

all i want the card for is to play ms.pacman can this handle that game?

[ExtremeGamer9951]

@cadaverock oh sut up of course it will play a game from the 20th century you idiot

[mcskittle3232]

i feel like im watching porn in the lunch room >_>

[Dhampire666]

haven't really looked into the new cards but whats the difference between the 7950 and 7970?

[mbaseballpro2]

@Dhampire666 a few disabled cores not much it depends on what your doing with it

[sonicfreak94]

I'll get a "digital" screen if you buy it for me. =P

[pufixas]

@3Target33

wtf

[MesiveloniFin]

linus made it first!

[NorwegianDragon13]

@MesiveloniFin motherboards made it before that

[redkiller4all]

I don't get why graphic cards are upside down. It looks stupid and the fans suck in air for the bottom and that's where the dust goes so the fan sucks in dust

[xTom4Tomx]

@redkiller4all couldnt agree more...

[Darkness109080]

@redkiller4all Hot air rises, so the cooler air would be below the card.

[gandra1951]

I would go with the XFX 7950 then this one. Not a fan of powercolor, and if you were gonna pay around 500 bucks your better off with XFX.

[Otect]

Almost disliked for not kissing the card.

YOU MUST KISS THE 7990@@@@@

[Tr1pTr0p]

PowerCOLOR with manuals in black and white. Damn clever.

[par5eagles]

$470

[Cheese1master]

I would like to see newegg do at least two videos of each gpu when the Nvidia GPU's come out. Thumbs up to agree!

[doomtomb3]

@Cheese1master The new GPUs from Nvidia? I think they are coming out in 2013.. LOL

[FireSqy]

@Cheese1master I want them to do unboxing from every Nvidia card maker like EVGA, MSI, Zotac etc. ;)

[zapper922]

like to see companies using dark brown/black pcbs more

[talldude123]

What's with all these 7950's? Either way, I'm three generations behind :(

[TheySeeMeYoutubin]

None of this will matter in 30 years or less when computers are implanted cells on our eyelids that allows us to browse the web while sleeping with full consciousness.

[iamthefritch]

@TheySeeMeYoutubin yah but its a nice card while you wait for that to happen

[sonic3243]

@TheySeeMeYoutubin I don't want any of it if it doesn't have cupholders.

[chilleffect]

@sonic3243 Or cigarette lighter.

[cyfelix0201]

@vaguedustin no he is right and u r wrong!

[vaguedustin]

@cyfelix0201 So because I have my facts right, have owned two GTX 580's and a GTX 590 and have bench marked and compared the two I am wrong? Hahaha get off your mothers computer and stop making a fool out of yourself kid. Great grammar by the way. "u r wrong!" Seriously, priceless.

[GTRMclaren722]

Overpriced, just 5% better than GTX 580 and in the same price range, with this prices, customers are fucked

[TheGenesisfreak]

@GTRMclaren722 the reason it's the same price is because it is A single GPU Video card, unlike GTX580's or 6990's which are dual cores :P

[C00lman555]

@TheGenesisfreak the gtx 580 is single core. the gtx 590 is dual core.

[CapnKrunchy]

@TheGenesisfreak The GTX 580 has a single GPU. The 590, however, is a dual GPU card.

[TheGenesisfreak]

@CapnKrunchy @C00lman555 I knew if i was wrong someone would be on my as, lol

[CapnKrunchy]

@TheGenesisfreak Nah, don't worry about it. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time.

[yousefALyazedi]

@CapnKrunchy gtx580 2way sli vs gtx590 ?

[CapnKrunchy]

@yousefALyazedi Two 580's in SLi will be slightly faster than the 590. The 590 uses 2x 580 GPU's, but has them clocked slightly slower to keep the temperatures and power consumption manageable. It is possible to overclock the GPU's on the 590 to get similar or better performance than dual 580's.

[vaguedustin]

@CapnKrunchy You are so wrong on so many aspects. Two 580's are MUCH faster than a 590. The 590 does not use two 580 chips, it doesn't use a previous cards chips at all. And for comparably the two chips are much much closer to two 570's. Where do you get this info from your ass?

[dakiller234]

@vaguedustin two 580's definitely > 590, youre right

[CapnKrunchy]

@vaguedustin Both the GTX 580 and the 590 use the GF110 chip.

[BrooklynXT1]

@GTRMclaren722 Actually it is much better according to the hardware heaven review.

[Bryanx89]

only a 50 series, wait till the 90's come out and this will be cheap!!

[67able1]

@Bryanx89 they are out. ~$550

[Bryanx89]

@67able1 i said the 7990's..

[67able1]

@Bryanx89 my bad man. you're right.

[Bryanx89]

@67able1 if the 7990's are 550 im buying 4 xD but they'll prob be around 8-900 x(

[67able1]

@Bryanx89 yikes. i'll probably stick with the 1 or 2 of the 50's

[cagt3000]

Hey, I'm siiiii... You know what never mind, let's not start anything here...

[MrJiYung]

500w min. and 2x 6pin? how...

[FolPwnsU]

@MrJiYung they made the power consumption much much lower for this generation (somehow they got more power with less watts)

[zakayron8001]

@MrJiYung 500W is for the entire build silly

[BraultOlivier]

Anyone else watching only for Paul?

[andriyk47]

@BraultOlivier no, I like the asian sloot

[onedollarbill94]
