As in the title, I'm looking at buying a 7950 and am not sure who to go for. The prices are very good on XFX (sorry OCUK) and MSI (yay OCUK) but I've heard about a lot of quality issues with XFX and problems with the cooler on MSI cards.

That more or less leaves Sapphire, who seem expensive and not that well performing for the temperatures/noise levels they get to, Gigabyte, who I've not considered for a GPU before and all the smaller companies which I'd rather avoid.

Any thoughts or is it just a much of a muchness?
 
Gigabyte are generally considered to be one of the best for warranty as its all UK based. I have the WF3 7950 and its a very good, quiet card :)

Personally tho id avoid XFX
 
I had heard the same about MSI and got excited when I saw the price drop. There are a couple of threads going about the MSI coolers running way too fast.

I'll read up on the Gigabyte then. Thanks.
