Well im in Australia so no matter what im screwed lol

Yeah I think I'll be overclocking once I get the card then. See what I can get out of it. I have an antec 920 kuler!

also my amd 955 is at stock speeds. Should I overclock to eliminate any sort of bottleneck? Would it even occur?

I was even gonna save money by getting a 7870. Because my other hardware is getting old i didnt wanna spend big on graphics, that way i can just do a whole new build a few months down the track!

As the above comment states yes a 7950 overclocks to a 7970! but a 7970 overclocks to match a 680 so in theory a 7950 cant match a 680

that's good then. Good to hear some sort of positive feedback on it! I guess you can't really go wrong with the 3 fan cooler

Talonz What's you opinion on your gigabyte 7950? Has it done you well?

Well hopefully this card doesn't stuff up like they shouldn't when your paying good money! I like Asus but didnt like the 3 slot cooler and neither did any reviewers I read up on.

Gigabyte 7950 it is. $399 from amazon! I'll be overclocking this bad boy for sure.

Yeah i think Gigabyte or Saphire will be the way to go in this case! I did see that HIS post so yeah i wouldnt be keen on a HIS 7970 despite the fact its only $450

Yeah well I wasn't really considering the black edition anyway. Id just get the standard one.

Yeah I was thinking gigabyte for the 3 fans but I think its ugly compared to the xfx

Ive never been so sure about the cheaper brands tho! what are their pros and cons? And id rather not stretch my budget for a 7970

Looking to buy a new Radeon 7950 from Amazon but cant choose which brand i should actually go with. Deciding between the gigabyte http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Mini-Displayport-PCI-Express-Graphic-GV-R795WF3-3GD/dp/B007581QHG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1335181865&sr=8-3 and the xfx...

Really you gotta just look at some benchmarks of those cards at your resolution and that'll be the deciding factor.
