Hey guys, over at notebookreview many users have documented issues with the 7970M ranging from lack of performance to spiking in FPS while playing games like BF3.
I was wondering if this is something any of the pcspecialist 7970M owners have came across? And if you have, was there any options given by PCS for returns or replacements?
The reason I ask is I don't particularly feel the 680M is the card for me, I'm not looking to overclock and only really play BF3 and LoL on top of that I'm finding it difficult to condone the price to performance difference (stock clocks) that dramatic. However, that being said, I wouldn't be too happy if I purchased the 7970M and ran into these problems without any options for replacement or payed upgrade by PCS.
Having a read through the terms and conditions with PCS they state "all Goods that we supply are warranted free from defects for 12 months " however I'd really like to know if PCS would recognize consistent dips in FPS while playing games like BF3 a defect.
Just as a side note, I do understand that any issues with the card could possibly be down to AMD and NOT PCS however, if PCS are selling the product with a "no defects" warranty surely I should expect smooth game play across the board?
By all means correct me in any silly drooling I may have slipped into this! I'm mainly just asking this as a piece of mind before I purchase.
Thanks for any input you can provide guys!
