I don't think so. But why get those? A 7950 is the same price and will severely outperform them.

Nope, because it's not a sticker, it's a metal cover for the fan(s).

how did Linus from Linus techtips get a nice clean one?? no sticker or fancy design plate no nothin on the front. i checked all the brands of the 6970 and didnt find his... i belive he took of the metal cover or maybe some are stickers. his was a straight stealth grey colour looked very cool

Probably one straight from AMD. Those are unbranded sometimes. You do know you can't see it right? It's facing down.

You can't. Those are non-production models sent out to reviewers.

The one from Tigerdirect is just a image of a stock 6970 card, the actual card you will get is the one on Newegg.
