My question is in regards to the ADM Radeon 7950 GPU. The following areas are very important to me when it comes down to deciding on a manufacturer of this particular GPU:
1. Cooling ability; I'd like a 7950 that has good cooling technology as I will not be purchasing a water cooling system at this time
2. Acoustics; Looking for a 7950 that is quiet when performing at a high level
3. Overclocking ability; I will be overclocking my GPU in the future so I'd like a 7950 that is a good candidate (i.e not voltage locked)
4. Crossfire; I am interested in purchasing another 7950 in the future for Crossfire so I'd like to choose a card that is known for working well in this mode
I was originally going to go with the Gigabyte version, but I read somewhere that it is known to be voltage locked, which is not good for OC
Which Radeon 7950 manufacturer should I go with based on the areas mentioned above? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
