Hi people I'm looking at getting a new 7950 and don't plan to put it under water hence the non ref design. I have had the gigabyte wf3 7950 and rma'd.

Lots of people are saying sapphire vapor x some saying his iceq2. What's the best and why?.. I've done research but I'm still stumped. Overclocking is a must. Cheers!

The Ice-Q, because it's quieter under load than the WF you had, probably cooler as it vents out the back and they oc like champs on the core!:D

I haven't used the Sapphire ones though so the above comments are simply based on first hand experience.:)
 
I'd recommend the HIS in an ideal world.

The cheapest on OCUK at the moment is the MSI Twin Frozr, but I've heard some pretty terrible things about that card.
 
I'll admit the gigabyte rma is incredible but I've already had 1 bad card.. I was about to order the msi twin frozr but then read the post about them being a bit of an issue. I'm leaning towards the his iceq2..
