Does anyone know if this card is reference design or not. Thinking of getting one and want to stick the ek block on it.

My main concern is i know xfx have 3 designs for the normal 5770, reference with ref cooler, ref with egg cooler and non ref with slighlty different egg cooler, best part is all 3 come under the same manufacturer code and its pot luck which one you end up with.

dont think its the case with the xxx version but not entirely sure
 
hi, the cooler is the reference design, but the board has been reconstucted, xfx have started making the boards instead to save money. I currently have this card and thing it is good. xxx model can be run at 1000 core 1450 mem vcore 1.256 stable max temp 68'c so seams better to pay extra for the xxx. the xxx model is 1 half inches bigger than the reference v.1 card and only has 1 crossfire connector. and it dont power save to well in 2d mode!
 
ah didnt know it was non reference boards, that and the size of the card means its a no no as far as water cooling it and fitting in my case :/

Looks like I'll have to go with the powercooler one, just wish asus would put more stock in the UK for their ref v2 volt tweak card

thanks for the info though mate, saved me a gd few headaches there i reckon
