Hi, as the title says I want to know what the best 7950 is in terms of overclocking, cooling and silence. Thanks in advance

MSI Twin Frozr 3/4 7950/ HIS IceQ X2 7950/ Sapphire Dual-X/Vapor-X 7950 / Asus DCU II 7950 (don't really like this card because its bulky and its a 3 slot card)

My vote is for the MSI tf3 7950, I absolutely love mine.

Overclocking potential partially depend on your luck btw.

Every one with 2+ fans except the xfx ones. I've heard that they coil whine

You will see very little difference in cooling in the non-reference card temperatures. You may see a maximum of 5 FPS difference after you overclock them to the max.I personally think there are threethings that this choice is really based on.

 

The first being ascetics. If you care how your rig looks, go for a choice based on it, and that's party why you've gotten a bunch of different answers so far (I personally like the look of the Asus DU II, others like the twin frozr and others like the look of other cards, so it may be tough to tell whats the best from the poll here).

 

The second thing is customer support (thats both quality of service and warranty length) . HIS and Sapphire offer 2 year warranty. ASUS and MSI offer 3 year warranty, But XFX offers lifetime warranty. Quallity wise i am not to familiar with HIS and Sapphire. I've seen generally good from MSI. ASUS is pretty good. But XFX has excellent support, better than most others.

 

The third factor is price. Of what I can find at the time of the post the order in price (least exppensive to most expennsive) is Sapphire, HIS, XFX, XFX(DD), ASUS, MSI. And that ranges from $200 - $265. So you really have to chose how much price matters to you.

 

As a personal choice I would go with the XFX DD card because its a solid card, the lifetime warranty and great support, it looks pretty good, and isn't too expensive compared to the rest, and looks pretty sleek. If something else makes more sense to you go for it. But you probably wont get to much of a performance increase between any of the cards. Hope that helped a little!
