Gigabyte HD7950 OC ref PCB?

[Ticonderoga]

So after being fouled by my vtx3s HD7950 x edition v2 not being a ref. HD7950 pcb, I decided to send it back and keep the block.
So I am now looking for a new HD7950 that will fit this block :

Does anyone know if the gigabyte card below is ref. pcb and will fit?

According to EK it's a reference design.

Stripped of its cooler does the £260 Windforce offer any appreciable benefits over the £228 HIS card?

No only the Gigabyte brand and a 3 year warranty, otherwise HIS is a fine card.

I also checked the EK website, but they only have the hd7950 windforce x 3 card listed and I wanted to make sure that Gigabyte HD7950 windforce x 3 and HD7950 windforce x 3 OC weren't two different cards?

So its safe to assume that the Gigabyte HD7950 windforce x 3 is the same card as the Gigabyte HD7950 Windforce x 3 OC?

The card EK list is the GV-R795WF3-3GD Rev. 1.0 and the card OcUK list is the GV-R795WF3-3GD.

They appear to be the same card but the EK listing suggests there may be a different revision available.
