i just didn't know because all the reviews say that it is an oc edition but no where in the title does it say anything about it?

look under chipset it says 950 mhz boost meaning it is overclocked.stock is only 800 mhz

also is this the best brand of the 7950?

I cant really answer that i own a sapphire dual X and it is a solid card no reason the vapor X isnt the same.If your into overclocking though make sure it doesnt have the voltage locked on it.

most people with this card say that t is voltage locked but would i see very much increase by oc'ing and is it worth trying to find a card that isn't voltage locked, or would 950mhz handle anything thrown at it including bf3 on ultra?

Even a voltage locked 7950 should get you to 1100 mhz which is alittle better then stock gtx 680 speed.even at 950 mhz you will play everything fine.to me overclocking to 1100 mhz is very worth it.
