well the toxic has a backplate, i think, which if touching memory chips on back of pcb can help a degree or 2 (oc heat dissipation wise) and if you have a window in pc looks better and if im not mistaken supports 1 (0.1) later version of direct x but i was impatient and got a 7970 dual-x oc 3gb which comes with the 3 game never settle pack er code for codes for games , kinda confusing lol
