Hey guys

I was just curios to see if its worth while upgrading to 7970 instead of 675?

also from what i've read it sud be a straight plug in and play job after removing drivers.

Oh am also aware amd cards use different brackets.

Thanks

p.s is ebay the only good place to look?

eBay will be the cheapest place to look. As far as getting a 7970m to dance with your R3, you may need to flash an unlocked BIOS for your R3 then set your video configuration to use the PCIe-MXM graphics card (7970m) only.
