**AMAZING VTX3D 7970 X EDITION DEAL - £359.99 Inc. VAT!!**

Get a 680 then. People are only getting a 7970 over a 680 because the 7970 is better for higher resolution/multiple display setups

i dont really care anymore, the 7970 is fine for me or even the 7950, i dont like the 680 i never have, it's too expensive and too boring looking,
no, if i have the money i'll buy as soon as possible.....

Look at the benchmarks 680 v 7970 if you still think the 7970 is better at 1080P you need to open the window a bit to let the paint fumes out
 
lol its still not over i guess

Anyways, does the 2 fans in vtx x cooler suck in air or blow them out?
Need to know if I have to change the orientation of the side fan

^^ +1.

But oh noes, all the reviews are wrong, lying, biased, can't be trusted etc etc etc ....

I know this because this 1 out of 100 reviews I'm looking at says the 7970 is faster.

Or both cards are identical because someone else on OCUK said so and they look cool, so I wanna look cool too and follow the herd.

Herp bloody derp.

I only notice a little when on a loading screen and the FPS shoots up to the thousands, barely audible at all.

Doesn't sound normal to me.

If you can hear it with the side of the pc on over fans, drives etc running then I would say it's too loud and would need an RMA. Some whine is not unusual for high performance components.
 
best reason for not getting a GTX680 ever lol

It's a well known fact that we care what our computers look like.

Otherwise cable management would not exist, nor would braided fancy cable extensions and pretty coloured parts.

Stock cards do tend to look rather boring :D

I've noticed a little whine but it's not very loud. It's a really high pitch squeal I hear but only noticable in a very quiet room. Don't know if this is normal or not but my last cards (6950,4890) didn't make that noise.
