That post is horribly wrong. Msi rep even posted to say so.

I thought the lightening was good...

Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 TOXIC 6GB

WOW... I'm sure EK will want to make a WB for that.

[Callsign_Vega]

The Sapphire would be good if they didn't ruin it with horrible display outputs. Why give it 6GB VRAM if you cannot run large Eyefinity with it?

Seriously, whats the point?

Wonder why there's no 6 displayport 7970 cards, the only 6 dp card is a 7870.

So who can't wait until tomorrow?! After 4 months of waiting it come down to this lol. Hopefully they will begin selling these either tomorrow or soon after.

Far too often manufacturers are clueless.

Hm, wonder if there are more problems with the EK block. Going on August now and still no word.

I received an email this morning responding to the question of when we can expect to see this. They said It was still in testing and is expected in the next ten day. I had thought the testing was already completed but maybe there is more? I really don't know, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't growing a bit impatient.

Not true, EK-FC7970 LTG is already manufactured and is being assembled now. Support guy mixed up a couple of thing when I was explaining it to him

Good to hear. Money in my hand waiting to buy one.

Does the nickel stay on these ones?
Actually. I won't touch the nikel ones. I'll go with copper.

Thanks for the correction. I had figured as much since the design was finalized a few weeks ago. As dk said, I have money waving in your faces for three copper blocks the minute they are released! Lol

They only come in copper/acetal.

Please post your results on water vs air when you get them! I've been seriously considering this card, want to see how it does on water fully covered!

Hi,

Is this card going to only be avail from the EK site or from UK retailers such as Specialtech.co.uk / Scan.co.uk ?

[l88bastard]

NICE!!! I thought these blocks were going to be Acetal-Copper and not Acetal-Nickel? Anyway, I am going to need 4 of em to feed the beast, so hopefully that red OOS inventory is temporary

[Callsign_Vega]

Holy crap they are out of stock already in less than two hours, did EK make like ten of them or less?

Iv seen them put products up without stock so it may just be that way this time.

Bastard said he got four of them so they must have not had many more than that.

[tiborrr]

We'll have more tomorrow and on Thursday.

[Callsign_Vega]

Ah cool. I didn't realize that once the product is put up on the EK store you can pre-order if out of stock. So I got my order in. Hopefully get four of them shipped out over the next day or two.

[l88bastard]

Ya, I put my back order for four blocks in too. I also ordered this FC Quad Bridge...please let me know if this is the proper bridge for (4) 7970 lightnings!
