At the moment its this one

The nvidia is the 670/760 I think

pretty much the GTX670 / GTX760 / HD7950 are around the same performance.

Going with the IceQ 7950 Boost will be a great move especially given the overclock range and the free games

i was looking at the iceQ one, but not sure on the cooler, is it any good ?, it looks kinda funny , like a spaceship or something

im a big fan of the XFX range, but not sure how they perform and clock.

i will also look at the green team equals, which is the best to look out for in them ?, asus ?

thanks guys

The IceQ is one ugly card BUT the cooler is amazing and quiet up to 60% and then gets noisy, it also vents heat out of your case. I also rate my Gigabyte WFX3 7950 just as highly only it doesn't vent heat. 7950's are all I'd be looking at right now for the price\performance. For a bit more the 280X is probably the next best price\performance. Nvidia well.........

lol, yes it is ugly , but i supose if its a good cooler, then it dosnt matter.

i could allways spray it !

i have been looking a the gigabyte one, i like the idea of the 3 fan setup.

nvidia, im not to keen on as iv always supported ATI/AMD. and never had any problems with them since day one.

but if one come up at the right price, i might be tempted.

Dont forget the MSI 7950 twin frozr OC Boost edition. Good card with a good cooler and relativly quiet under load according to hexus. Can also be had for the same price as the IceQ card (just not at OC ).
