Graphics first 7970 with waterblock from ek as standard

Powercolor first out the blocks with this card. Good base clocks as standard

 

Thats just asking to be overclcoked till it bleeds.

 

Nice! 1150 is very impressive. I wonder how much of a premium it'll command over standard air cooled cards.

 

I want at least 2 of those hehehe

 

Personally, I'd rather just retrofit a waterblock and overclock the card myself.

OCUK have been selling one of these for a little while (£600). No overclock as standard though......

Yeah, sure, I agree. A stock 7970 is going to cost you £450 or so, and a block about £70 - so unless its coming in at £520 its a hard sell. What you do get, of course, is warranty.

 

True about the warranty. I do also like the way that Powercolor have got rid of that hideous red PCB.
