re: Build the Best Gaming PC Your Money Can Buy: A Detailed Guide (Updated Sep 2014)

I assume you mean 4 Display Ports (or Mini-DP)? Never seen a 7970 with 4 HDMI ports.

As far as I know, there's an ASUS card and perhaps an MSI with 4 Display Ports, but please link me to confirm.

Either way, $225 is a great price and there aren't too many scenarios in which I'd advise against getting a 7970 at that price. Just need to confirm it's not some shitty scaled down PCB with a cooler that barely keeps it below 90.

EDIT: Just checked PCPartPicker, and there are now 8 7970s under $300, the cheapest being an ASUS for $268 that has two DVI ports and 4 display ports -- Is that the one you're talking about? It's a 3-slot card.

It was on a facebook swap site, I didn't get it.
I'm going to build a new system in a few months.
I'll use this guide as a reference. My last build was AMD based and will be three in November. So time for a new one. I mainly want to be able to run a modded out FSX at full settings. That's the only games I play besides Civ are Flight Sims.
