Tahiti LE, Tested: PowerColor's HD7870 PCS+ Myst Edition

Yeah I noticed that in there, but they state that about the Myst edition, and then link to the Ghz EZ version. That is why I am worried. I can't find any documentation of the Ghz EZ version anywhere else. With the current rebate, the Ghz EZ come out at 204.99, which is a freaking steal. Other wise I am looking at an additional 45 bucks, or at least 15 bucks. A review of the Ghz EZ also states that it runs quieter and cooler, which again leads me to believe that it is not the Tahiti.

Dang it! I just want a good deal! Lol.

Thanks for the feedback by the way.

Powercolor has made another version of this card on Newegg. The Sapphire one is perpetually sold out everywhere. Every single time someone gave me a link swearing I could buy it, it's out of stock.

Oh, and the EZ version you are speaking off is no different from the MYST version as far as I can tell.

Should be the called the 7930 if its not a true 78xx part or capable of xfire with them.

Most people with opinions on that seem to agree, as do I. Radeon 7930 would have made more sense.

I can get this card with bioshock infinite and tomb raider for less than most 7850's
do you think it's worth upgrading from my 6850

Most definitely!

Wow, this is a while ago now but I should at least give some resolution. I bought that card and it is amazing. Super quiet and stable.

They named it confusingly on purpose. It's my guess that with performance levels so close to a 7950 they wanted this card to be a unicorn that not many people really knew about. So they named it with the mid range 7870 to keep it off the 7950's consumer base.

Igor I think you forgot to list which version of the Catalyst Drivers you used. I'd love to know as I have just ordered one of these as an upgrade from my 6950 which has issues with the 13.4 drivers so I rolled back to the 13.1 version which works fine.

How many companies make cards with the Tahiti LE GPU? I was just looking at prices today and noticed the price of the 760 which seemed something in my price range until I read the review of the June 2013 cards and read that the 7870 was still a good choice. But I noticed that they were talking about the Tahiti LE. I've only noticed that PowerCooler seems to be the only company that I know of that used this GPU. Is this correct?
