7970 Lightning

[Phoenix92]

Am trying to get a 7970 Lightning Boost Edition and then watercool it (EK has a block for it), does anyone know of somewhere I can find one of these as the only places i have found are either silly money like £500 or on "pre-order" with an unknown arrival date.  Would appreciate any alternatives (7970 GHz cards only though), budget is £400 max.

i don't know if they still make them, anyway its really hard to get one.

MSI doesnt make these anymore in bulk so either get one now or wait for either 8000 series or 700 series lightning.

Not sure how you feel about ebay but this might be of interest to you, I don't think it's the boost edition but I'm not sure if they are in circulation yet. Any reason you specifically want the Lightning edition?

Yeah not too great a fan of buying components off ebay.  The boost edition has a GHz edition GPU and has a higher clock and memory afaik.  Also am going to watercool/overclock the card in 3-6 months time so wanted a card which would handle it well.
