Waco's opinion:
So, I'm not much impressed with the card.
About review: another good one!
I'm just thinking the same.Personally, I have a hard time justifying that extra $50-$60 when you can get a reference PCB card with a custom cooler for nearly 15% - 25% less cash out of your wallet.
So, I'm not much impressed with the card.
About review: another good one!

With prices getting driven down so much it sure makes it tough to look at aftermarket cards these days.

Actually I've got a 7870 in my rig now. Isn't that in my sig?Waco gonna dump his 5970 for the 7950 like I did??
Edit: Yeah it's just hard to justify the added cost for a custom board when the premium is so high for it.
