Top binned GPU's are used for these cards, so overclocking is pretty much guaranteed a bonus...

Plus they are nice

I wouldn't get those if you are going dual GPUs, because they are three slots the top card gets airflow blocked and it runs hot (happened with my cards), I would stick with dual slot cards so airflow isn't so restricted. Awesome cards if you got one of them, but they just don't work that nicely as a top card.

Plus they are just as random as any other GPU, one of my DC2Ts could only do 995MHz at stock volts (my other could do 1080MHz though), luckily it had a faulty fan and dabs allows for full refunds so now I have 3 new games, £90 (brought DC2T for £310 before second price drop) and a reference MSI 7950 that can do at least 1080MHz on stock volts like my other DC2T (both going on water soon so cooler isn't important).

Damn, that is pretty poop for a TOP card...

I recently upgraded tot two hd 7950's. They are bang smack top of one anoter, and the top card runs just 7c higher... I have a large 200mm fan from the side panel providing lots of cool air, so i guess thats the key

btw, both at 1100mhz at 1.2 volts

It seems the top cards are poop, I haven't tried to OC my Matrix 7970, but a lot of guys seem like their cards a re voltage locked. Last time I buy an Asus video card, seems like MSI do a much better job, and hey I love MSI Afterburner...
