I've been looking at 7950's for a while now but I still can't decide which one to get :fou: I will be overclocking them so thats a big factor for me also. I will be running dual 1920x1080 monitors and I might crossfire later. If you prefer a better card not on the poll of have more info on the card you chose please post. :)

I just upgraded to the MSI 7950 HD 3GB TWIN FROZR III Boost edition. It runs amazingly well and oc's like a beast. I only have stock cooling so I haven't really messed with the stock voltage but I have read people getting huge gains when they oc it. I currently running Crysis 3 on High Settings across the board besides but I only have FXAA mainly for framerate stability. Don't have the ecact numbers in front of me but I have had no regrets with buying it.

Well... I don't own one of them BUT read a lot and...

Vapor-X voltages locked are no fun, Twin Frozr problems with mem cooling, DD from what one of people here said problems with VRM cooling, Gigabyte has coil whine...

From what I've read and had in my life I would say: go either for HIS IceQ x2 or IceQ turbo cooler (great overclockers), or Asus DC II (for great and silent cooling solution).

My budget doesn't allow me to take anything better than Gigabyte (it is the cheapest in my country) and that's why I'm getting 7870XT.

But I think best of the best is IceQx2. Besides - had 3 HIS Radeon cards already, RMA'd only once - no problems with service at all. HIS cooperated with ATI for ages. It seems they know what they're doing.
