Most TVs don't have DVI, anyway. And VGA / DVI converters are usually passive, allowing somebody with a DVI-I output to send a VGA signal through that DVI-I port, to VGA (15-pin D-sub connector) on the receiving side. If you had some expensive active converter, then you might as well convert to HDMI. Or VGA to component (RGB video, RCA connectors)? I'm not sure what's the best. Anybody know for sure? | ||

edit - Also, my friend is pretty much set on getting it from cyberpower, which for the 7970 just has the HIS IceQ or a default 7970, if that changes anything. | ||

Well, she should feel safe enough to just replace the GPU out of that cyberpower computer, so I guess could just set it up so the computer comes with some shitty gpu and the 7970 ghz gets switched in. The lightning one you are referring to is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127670&Tpk=7970 lightning right? The Toxic is out of stock on newegg D: | ||

To your first point, I'm not even the one getting the computer (if it were for myself I would self build). To your second point, friend said $1800 desktop so I'm like.. well guess may as well for for super high end. | ||

Plus Cyberpower blows, no mATX or silent case offerings. Most tech illiterates would appreciate a 21: 9 display much more than a 7970 Lightning. Or you can buy two U2312HM if you don't want to pay a $200 premium to get rid of bezel. The entire point of spending so much for a flagship like the 7970 is for the custom PCB but for someone who is unwilling to build, what's the point? Of course, there's e-peening but that sort of goes out the window when purchasing Cyberpower. | ||

Maybe wait for GeForce Titan... btw is CyberPower a must, or does it just need to come assembled? | ||

Uhh idk about the non desktop items atm actually, but that is kind of already set I think (as in already bought). | ||

I could see and read Hangul before on both computers but now I can't.... I can't find the CD right now but I try to find it. Thanks for all your help!!  | ||
