Back Plate Question

[Pitou]

i wanted to get a back plate for my asus radeon 7950 v2, ive seen evga backplates for nvdia and was wondering if they have to be gpu specific, or can i use a different one like a 760, if not are there any backplates that would fit it?

It would be more logical if you have a back plate that matches your actual gpu wound't it.

I have seen some for the newer AMD R 200 series but as for older GPUs (like yours) I can't say that I have seen any yet that doesn't mean that they don't exist.

pretty sure there is non because its not a reference board. MAYBE you have luck and EK has one.

Edit2: Not sure if its compatible with the dcu2 cooler tho

With that type of cooler I think a backplate might help if any at all. Maybe just for the aesthetics of the card. It might not work since the length of the card, and the position of things are different.

I think it should work.
