  I have two CrossfireX'd 7870 GHz Editions set at 1250mV w/ +4 Power Limit at a Coreclock of 1175MHz and a Memory Clock of 1355MHz. Basically, faster than the R9 270x and OC editions of it. Summer rig I own uses an i5 4430, 8GB DDR3 and Seagate and Samsung SSDs' in MBP. College rig uses AMD 965BE, 8GB DDR3, and Seagate SSD. Believe it or not, but the summer rig only costs around $550 for the SSD, GPU, CPU, RAM, PSU and motherboard and case all together. Mini ITX rig.

 
7,870 GHz?!

 
If only my Alienware wasn't tiny with a horrible cooling system, I could use it as the gaming laptop it supposedly is.

lol i just cant get over how this show is copying star wars to such an extent.....
cant wait till we find out that death gun is his dad or something...

Now that would be neat.

This is possibly my favorite image macro ever:
 

 
For what it's worth, seemingly every other show out there makes Star Wars references.
 
...Is it odd that I have fond feelings for Darth Vader? I might just watch my Star Wars DVDs now.

Illegal aliens? You mean to say there are legal ones???
 

 
Ohh Horrible subs.... I think google won this one....

It's the name.
 
Full name of the card is the AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition.
New full name of cards are AMD Radeon Rx 2xx (possible later extension)
 
The 7870 refers to the card name. GHz Edition is just AMD apendage meaning that something on the card is over 1GHz which in this case, is the memory clock. Some of the new R9 cards of the same variants sport higher mem clock but slower core clock as compared to their 7000x copatriots. 
 
Most graphics cards in production by Nvidia/AMD are single GPU graphics cards. During the 5000x class AMD cards and pre era. Dual GPU cards were very frequent. Until the new 295X2 came out recently and Nvidia's big ass new Titans. Dual GPUs were kinda scarce for a generation or two. But they are comming back en mass/force now again. 
 
I however said screw that and OC'd my 7870 GHz to 1250MHz core and 1355MHz Memory (5420 MHz 'combined' if you want the GDDR5 multiplier of 4). Anything above 1400MHz crashes the card. Most likely because 1400MHz is the ceiling that the memory will reach and that AMD specs indicated for my card. By using custom fan curves, power limit, and voltages. I can get this card running very well. The reasoning is that I did almost 100+ different clocks with mem and power configs for testing out during coin mining and so I perfected my rigs performance, stability at multiple settings.
 
Which is by far still higher than any manufacturer OC card available for both 7870 GHz or R9 270x. Mainly because manus don't like to do big overclocks at all.

Overclocking is like, 1/2 the fun of getting new hardware.
 

 
Really? I see most rig here as pretty average tbh

Probably depends on the local area, most people in the thread are fairly affluent so a PC that they consider mid-range is like, OMG fast for 80% of the population who have i3s or Phenom IIs with an integrated GT540 or HD5350 and schiit.

You did see the silly face to indicate it was a joke, right?
 
Thanks for the tech data, anyway.

I had a huge college rulled book with 2-3 pages filled with test clocks, mem, and voltage and power limits. Every line and more filled with them and the performance I would get from it while mining. 
 
But yeah, it's kinda fun

Yeah, just wanted to go tech on ya

@Blisse I thought this was uncanny:
 

 
The character looks sort of like your avatar, and there are zombies involved, just like you like! ^_^

 

[vwinter]

It seems like some pre-adolescence treehouse. 

LOL

Ohh Horrible subs.... I think google won this one....

It's an American expression and in that sense, could be the preferred use if in proper context.

It's a little less PC these days apparently:

It used to be a "Resident Alien" card but now it's a "Permanent Resident" card.

  I might just watch my Star Wars DVDs now.

Watch some anime instead!

I was waiting for you to chime in.

 
I can multitask while listening to music, but shows and movies require my undivided attention.
 
I don't think I'll watch anything today. Got lotsa work to do on my upcoming super threads!
