So i should be getting my refund money from my old GPU and im getting a 7950 next.

The 2 that i had in mind are these 2:

- Because its the cheapest? MSI is reliable, my previous long term GPU was from them, and can probably overclock it.

2nd one:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-190-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673

- The only difference i notice between these one and the one above is the core? Which im guessing i can overclock the 1st one to the 2nd ones standard? The only reason im thinking of this one is cause of the 2 fans? better cooling however does this justify the £30 difference?

If anyone thinks there is a better 7950 please post it and reasons why.
 
The top one should be fine as long as you aren't going xfire.
Might be slightly noisier but after the summer should be able to game with fan on low/auto
 
Me makes +4

Both His IceQ and Msi TF3 are good cards, His 2 years warranty and Msi 3 years.

The His cooler is great and quiet, the only downside of the cooler is that it makes the card use 3 slots, for the good side it takes the heat out of your case helping to keep your computer cooler.

His card uses Elpida memories which are a little bit slower and less overclockable than the Hynix memories used on the MSI card.

I went for the MSI TF3 card.. I have 2 in crossfire.

Whats wrong with the 1st ones Xfire??

because you need good coolers for xfire 1 fan just isn't going to cut it unless you are comfortable your top card hitting 80 - 90c

not sure on that His IceQ cooler being quiet ? it's a leaf blower they are ALWAYS noisier

i would get his iceq 7950 it's one of the best 7950's for cooling it's between that and the gigabyte windforce. With it being a leaf blower it's suppose to be silent it got reviewed on toms hardware against 5 other 7950's like msi, asus ect and it beat them all in temps, noise and performance.
