Reviews are coming in for the new drivers and the reviews are good. Overall feeling seems to be that they made a great jump forward with some room to get better.

Geez that is cheap.

ETA and you can get it for $15 cheaper using Google Wallet. $205 for a new 7950.

would it be worth returning my sapphire 7878 oc model for this one?

No because the reviews are pretty bad on that card. It's apparently a cheaply made PoS.

Apparently the cooler is terrible, and MSI keeps trying to tell people "95C is fine! It's made for that!" They're probably right assuming there are no BSODs at that temp, but no thanks. I love putting an MSI card with a reference PCB under water though. They overclock very well.

Allegedly the cooler on that Sapphire 7970 is junk. At least that's what Coyote said and with the recent rash of heating issues some of use here have had with 7970s I wouldn't get one with a bad cooler on it.

There would be absolutely zero difference. 7990 literally = crossfired 7970s

Yea but then you could say you have a 7990 and add another one down the road to put some pressure on Coyote.

Ok, so I'm having some computer issues. I don't know if it's just because of the game or something else, but I've been playing a ton of the Binding of Isaac recently and I think I'm at 6 or 7 times now since 2 days ago where it will completely lock up my computer when I'm playing. I installed a program to check temperatures to see if it was an overheating problem but nothing got above 40C the most recent time that it froze. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to figure out what's wrong and fix the problem?

Hasn't happened yet but Isaac is the only thing I've been playing recently. I'll try some other games but this just started with Isaac 2 days ago.
