Hi ,
I have a Sapphire 5850 reference card
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?psn=000101&pid=286&lid=1
and I am looking for upgrade ( some times I feel that is no decent performance from upgrade now and its better to wait for the HD8000 series )
one of my friends offer me a used ASUS 7970 reference
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD79703GD5#overview
it will cost me as the same price of new 7870 non reference cards
so is this upgrade is good ?
is this card support Direct X 11.1 ?
is the difference from this reference card and non reference one is about cooling system and some over clock only ?
Note : I don't live in USA , so I cant use online shopping stores
My PC:
I7 920
ASUS P6T
24G RAM
Thermaltake 750 w +80 Silver
