its a toss up between asus DC2, HIS or MSI. which of these can oc and are relatively quiet? or should I go green team?? :D
 
You can get a DCU2 Top for £240 atm its on sale! Best card for silence. Already 100mhz OC too.

The Gigabyte is the same price but not as quiet and doesnt look as good.
 
The DCU cards aren't that good, they are 3 slots because of a massive shroud, but the actual heatsink underneath doesn't come close to taking up 3 slots.

Go for the Windforce or IceQ. The Windforce has a longer warranty with the warranty being in the UK so wouldn't be a bad card to get.
 
Having just picked up the gigabyte this week I would recommend it, very good card can't hear it above my case fans unless benching it and clocks really well.
 
The ASUS TOP version. It's really easy to get it up to 7970 speeds. Also, it looks amazing, which most wouldn't give a monkeys about, but I love the ROG stuff so I'm biased.

Its a b grade for a reason ;) could be a bad clocker or anything i wouldnt trust b grade unless you dont plan to overclock or are not bothered about the guarantee as anything b grade only has 1 year with ocuk.

There are some good bargains to be had in the 'B' grade section. I believe that this particular card is voltage locked, so the overclock potential won't be huge. I would rather run a 7970 at stock over an overclocked 7950.
I was also under the impression that any remaining warranty would be with Gigabyte after the 90day ocuk warranty expires.
