I have decided to buy 7970

which brand should i go for?





Talk about both Reference and Non-reference cards as i think non-reference might have not come where i live in india



Also is there a noise problem with 7970,i ve heard and watched video on youtube with alot of sound
 
ive all ways gone with sapphire but you canrt go wrong with any of the top makes + all the Reference ones have the same cooler . as for noise i can"t tell much diff from my 6950 . if you are watching videos you can override the fan speeds to sute you .
 
I'm running a reference Sapphire 7970 card using a fan profile in MSI Afterburner.

The card is FAR more quiet than the pair of 6970s it replaced.
 
Only reference cards are available I believe at the moment, so if you are buying now, not much choice. As far as brand, get one who's warranty
