Hi

I'm looking for a newer Radeon 7870 2GB GHZ edition that uses Pitcairn GPUs. I already have an XFX Radeon 7870 that has a Pitcairn GPU that I want to crossfire, but all the newer 7870s use Tahiti GPUs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Ya I saw that too mercuk, when I called the manufacturer earlier they confirmed they no longer have any Pitcairn GPUs available. I thnk Rolli59 is right though. The only GHZ edition i could find that isn't labeled LE is the XFX and more specifically the Double D HD 7870. I'm probably fine ordering one of those other cards I posted.

Thanks for your quick reply rolli59. Are you sure about this? I know for sure the first vid card on the link you provided (XFX FX-787A-CDFC) now uses Tahiti as I contacted the manufacturer earlier today to confirm. I'm trying to figure out more so about the Power Colors or Diamond.

PowerColor AX7870 2GBD5-2DHV5E/OC

PowerColor AX7870 2GBD5-2DHV4E/OC

Diamond 7870PE52GV

Thanks,

No I doubt they are. This is probably a manufacturing issue as in maybe it's XFX specifically that started releasing their 7870s GHZ with Tahiti's. There's even a review on newegg for the XFX 7870 with someone who had a similar issue as they weren't able to crossfire their new XFX 7870 with their old one, same product number and everything. I also found in another forum someone who was sent 2 XFX 7870s at once and one of them was Pitcairn and the other was Tahiti including screen shots for GPU-Z.
