Asus HD 7950 TOP 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - AMD 3 for FREE Promotion £239.99 @ Overclockers
The next generation Asus HD7950-3GD5 graphics card has arrived, fitted with a 28nm GPU that packs 4.3bn transistors and is combined with 3GB GDDR5 Memory, it provides users with the speed for smoother gaming. Supporting full DirectX 11, AMD CrossFireX and AMD HD3D, the GPU includes an exclusive tweak utility which allows users to tune the performance of up to four graphics cards and check card status via an intuitive interface.
This GPU Tweak function links the GPU clock frequency to the voltage, so as you scale the GPU clock the voltage automatically follows; a useful tool for inexperienced Overclockers, It also enables users to select between 2D and 3D mode by providing the ability to change the respective clock speeds, voltages and fan speeds of either. Disabling the 2D mode also forces the faster 3D mode, stabilising overclocking and benchmarking results.
Embedded with GPU-Z to access accurate graphics card information, the card also contains a live update driver and BIOS benefiting users with the ability to keep their card in the best condition. Widget monitoring provides the choice to display the most needed information including a full widget, light widget or real time monitoring.
Furthermore, new PCI Express 3.0 delivers improved encoding and twice the performance of the previous PCI Express 2.0 and vision horizons can be expanded across six displays with AMD Eyefinity technology. This technology delivers innovative graphics display capabilities enabling massive desktop workspaces and ultra-immersive visual environments for the ultimate panoramic computing experience.

Of course, and PCI-E 3.0 makes very little difference (1-2%) with games unless running multiple cards in CF / SLI. For a few gCompute (OpenCL) application it can make a major difference (depending on the dataset I presume) but not for games.
Yes. It is backward compatible. Same as you can use usb 2 on a usb 3 port

shame nvidia bork you using physx if it detects and ATI card in there otherwise i would be tempted to get this and move my NV card over to be a physics card.(I know you can hack it but...............)
If so could you run BF3 with everything maxed with this card?

Not at that resolution, no.

40+ fps ain't too shabby.

You do not require any anti aliasing at such a high resolution so it is very possible that you could run BF3 at a very decent frame rate with everything else maxed out.

BIt of FXAA/SMAA would still be useful. AA is fun at all resolutions, except maybe 4k :p
