Hi guys, Im pretty much settled on the radeon 7970, just not sure which one to go with, perhaps someone can give a helpful hint, here are the ones in my budget -

-ASUS HD7970-DC2-3GD5 Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

-GIGABYTE GV-R797OC-3GD Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

-MSI R7970 TF 3GD5/OC BE Radeon HD 7970 3GB Twin Frozr OC Boost Edition 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

-SAPPHIRE 21197-00-40G Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

-HIS IceQ X² H797QM3G2M Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Im leaning more towards the MSI since it offers the better deal, unless someone has personal experience that says otherwise . Thanks!

Same here, MSI made true crap years ago, i must say they changed allot. My trust has been broken so hard years ago that im still sweating for the fact i have actually a decent MSI motherboard (LAN connector S*CKS, destroys all my LAN headers).

Asus speaking for atleast 20 years of being involved in the PC industry has ALWAYS been stable, quality, everything you want...

I have had nothing but good luck with ASUS and GIGABYTE.
I have gotten 2 bad MSI twin frozr boards that needed to be rma'd. (once I got a good board it was fantastic though!, sometimes these things just happen...)
No experience with the others. :)

So long as you don't get a bad board (which can just be rma'd anyway), you should be good regardless of the brand.

It just costs just a bit more but its definitly worth it and i trust Asus for life, i know the extra money is being used wisely.

While being best and offering quality over the years and years, they made best even better.

Even if it ment having a FPS less or 2, its nothing compared to the durability and quality of Asus.

I have a sapphire now for testing, its going well but i dont trust ultra mass production, its AMD's maine supplier and thats why they are cheaper.

Asus has best knowledge in one house, shows support for drivers even when AMD fails to bring out drivers fixes, AMD releases its own fixes and they last months upon months.

Truly satisfied with Asus and will always look highly upon them, i sound like an employee, would be great working there but i have programming dreams and a company to run. Selling knowledge is the hardest thing on the planet, take it this way, software is pure knowledge from the first letter written and even before it.

This is the reason why i cant seperate my life from AMD cards, they also have very very special and a diffrent approach on calculating stuff.
Instead of FLOPS the AMD cards are an absolute unbeatable beast when it comes to pure integers.

In fact, medical devices and for science use, these cards beat Nvidia by a 1000%? its a big number to say atleast, but ok! this does not concern you!.

So yeah thats my opinion! had them all except HIS, heared their nice overclockers, on sapphire i like the cooler ALLOT, amazing tempratures here.

i Hope ive answered your question!.
