I would take the Sapphire card or maybe a Gigabyte windforce .

you are aware the first two links are the same? lol

but if you want a 7950 get the sapphire as it appears to be in a class of its own.

think theres a post on here, where a member got the gpu core upto a stable 1100mhz +

^ what link was meant to be lol

also what do you reckon i could sell my XFX HD5870 for + waterblock

can i use MSI after burner with the sapphire card?

 

[VengeanceUK]

afaik afterburner can be used on pretty much any recent card. it even worked on my ASUS HD4890 lol.

imho, i would stack them in this order

1. Sapphire Super OC 950
   
2. MSi Twin Frozer
   
3. Asus DirectCU2
   

even though the asus has a slightly high default clock, my experience is the twin frozer hangs in there just a little longer than the directcu2 on overclocking and the sapphire appears to oc like a champ

I was going to but two of the MIS 7950 but ended up getting a MSI 7970. I would go with the MSI just on pure looks, performs good to.

ill get the Sapphire then its settled now i can get rid of my 5870 and get some better fps in BF3 hopefully
