Posted December 16, 2013 Too bad the beauty of that XFX card is overshadowed by hair dryer fans, coil whine, and 90+ degree temps. I bought an XFX 7970 based on the looks.

Posted December 18, 2013 i liked the protection it offered on those 260's i moved them from so many cases / pc's over the years no worry about popping off a vrm or anything small was nice.

Posted January 5, 2014 The MSI Lightning tripple fan cooler is the best looking card out there right now. I see a lot of people posting current non-reference XFX cards, but I don't like their design at all. They put some ugly ass coolers on them, but the old Nvidia ones were awesome. This is the best looking graphic I have seen on a videocard. Ever!
