Hi there. I recently purchased a hd6970 as my hd 5850 was on its way out and was on a tight budget. The 6970 had a stock sapphire cooler on it and I was just curious if it is worth swapping coolers with my old card as it had an aftermarket xfx zalman cooler (not sure which model its red with 2 fans)

Which would be better?

Thanks

May not fit and the card should come with sufficient cooler.

It definitely fits just asking for advice on which is better as I have both available to me.

Did you buy the card new with warranty? If so it is not worth sacrificing warranty and I do not know the performance of either cooler so can not compare.
I have never had a need for aftermarket one.
