[QUOTE=sheridanm;39977091]-snip- This thread should be closed.[/QUOTE] You should just stop posting on things you aren't knowledgeable about really. We have people on here that can look at a picture of a CPU die and layout and understand what's going on. As I said earlier, we aren't AMD haters (You'll see us recommending AMD GPUs) but their CPU single threaded performance is still nowhere near AMDs. No reason to close a good thread because you started a silly argument :v: [editline]20th March 2013[/editline] Also Speccy temperature is unreliable.

[QUOTE=Jetblack357;39977724]Isn't the difference between the 7950/70 negligible? I can vouch for the PSU though, I got the 850 watt version, thing kicks ass.[/QUOTE] The 7970 performs somewhat better, but the problem is price. You need to decide if you want to pay $100+ extra for that performance.
[QUOTE=bohb;39980002]The 7970 performs somewhat better, but the problem is price. You need to decide if you want to pay $100+ extra for that performance.[/QUOTE] Most cost effective way is to get a standard 7970 with a good aftermarket cooler and then overclock it to the GHz edition levels, saves you $50 for the same performance.
