After I posted my former blog -the first "Back To Green"- I realized that AMD finally did away with the ATI branding and as such also got rid of the fiery red color associated with the latter, to replace it with, well, green.

The thing is that I recently (last week on Wednesday -the 4th of July, to be exact) went from green back to, errr, the formerly red green.

In more comprehensible words (not necessarily comprehensible actions) I swapped my Asus GTX670 DCII Top for an AMD MSI 7970 Lightning.

Nuts, I know. But hey, as long as it doesn't hurt -although my wallet needed hospitalization due to severe starvation- it's okay, I guess.

Not that I was dissatisfied with the GTX670, it's just that I felt a tad silly for going from a 6970 crossfire set-up to a "meager" GTX670. I chose the latter after the XFX 7970 BE DF debacle and based on GTX670 benchmarks, which were pretty amazing.

But still. Being a tiny bit crazy, and after reading up on both the MSI GTX680/R7970 Lightning, I was sold and also able to convince Alternate (after a lot of blood, sweat but no tears -on my part at least) to trade-in the GTX670 for the aformentioned MSI R7970 Lightning. I went for the AMD card just because of the 384-bits bus and 3GB of V-RAM.

Now, for my wallet's sake (and Alternate's marbles), let's just hope MSI doesn't decide to come up with a Super GHz Lightning edition...

Should they do, I'd first have to refil the massive hole, formerly known as my bank account, anyway...

But never say never.

I'll keep you posted. Just in case someone might be interested.
