I was planning on buying a 7970 for around 900 dollars (nice price on my country) but i found an Asus GTX 560 non ti for 300 dollars, so if i buy 2 of those is the performance better than the 7970? Please Help 😉
 
No where near, a 7970 would absolutely cream two 560's in SLI, and they would cream two 560ti's in SLI too. Roughly speaking a 7970 GHZ = 680.

I've never seen a 7970 for $900 in any country, what country are you from? You might be picking a dual GPU by mistake.
 

I live in Albania its actually around 650 euros but i converted it in USD Thanks for the help btw, i guess i'm gonna get the 7970 :) (its not dual btw)
 

No it doesn't, just checked it out 🙁 (i live in albania)
 
if u afford 7970 then i just dont buy that insist of buying an gtx 680 is far better then

This is the best graphics card i have found in my country, no 680 🙁
 

It is Sapphire HD 7970 😀
 
the 680 ain't a far better or anything a 7970 GHZ edition is nearly equal to (1-2 % better )680 and the refrence is slightly less thana 680 and undoubtely a single powerful card as the 7970 is better than 2 56o ti in terms of performance and it's nearly half of the power consumption
 
That is it - that's it. A 680 is not far better then a 7970 nor is it better. 1080 or less they are just about the same - however once you get above 1080 and or overclock both the 7970 walks away.

Enough said people. The only thing better about 680s is a bit better drivers. I would cream any 680 or sli 680s all day with my rig.
 


Have you tried amazon (amazon.it)? I hear they ship to albania and the sapphire (OC) 7970 goes for about 405.80 euros (http://www.amazon.it/Sapphire-11197-12-40G-Scheda-video/dp/B008I7YZJY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357752630&sr=8-2).
