AMD HD 7000 Series Discussion Thread

[Lewis Therin]

IMX will not be making its own design. They will also offer premade company design =P

Haha yes I know. Thats why I said bring in and not make new designs :P

GIGABYTE 7970 available at CZONE now for 57,500

Quite amazing i shud say compared to competetors like Galaxy, but again....the price of this card is now like 500 dollars so it shudnt cost more than 52k max!!!

[hasanJ]

actually its price is now 450$ in International and IMX will be bringing in GTX680 for 50k Rs

Though HD7850 for 26k Rs at Czone is a SWEET Deal

[WAQAS ADEEM]

7850 can easily be oced to 7870 levels and even beyond it as it had got a huge oc potential and in 26k u gonna beat gtx580

[Bluff Master]

7870 and 7850 are the best in thier slots

I don't understand why galaxy left the 7850 and imported everything else. I guess some business tactic to get rid of other cards in the sam price bracket. I am waiting for some other vendor's 7850 else I will be getting the gigabyte version. CM 500 PSU should be good enough right? Keeping in mind I have five case led fans (two 120mm, three 80mm)

updates:

Gigabyte shipment coming by 5th, 7850 and 7870 coming. The 7850 AU and Galaxy have (or will be having) will be the non OC version in comparison to the OC version of Gigabyte. AU has one HIS 7850 Fan version (Non OC) for 27500, price is negotiable, if someone wants it than he can talk to them for a lower price because that price for a non OC version is absurd.

Question, I have a CM 500 Extreme PSU, it has one 6pin PCI-e connector, i wonder if i can find some sort of adapter for it in case i want to opt for a 7870 (which require two 6pin connectors) or the only option i have is to change the PSU, secondly would my PSU be adequate enough to run 7850/7870? i have around 5 case fans, four HDD, one optical, two USB external devices.

5x Case Fans and First Gen i5 is a wee bit too much load on 12V considering u also put in an HD7870 in the Mix
It will work but its recommended that u get a proper 500W PSU like Xigmatek NRP-PC502

was thinking about getting the Corsair GS-800 (GS Series)
