Asus 7970

I'll probably go with an ASUS 7970 DCUII for my new build, but I'm not entirely sure which one to choose. The standard one, TOP or MATRIX. Which gives me the best bang for my bucks? Are there any major differencies at all?

Right now it looks like i'm going with TOP since it's only about 15$ more expensive than the standard version.

The Asus Matrix is slightly less expensive and better than the other DCUII models.

How does less expensive and better add up? :S Although the MATRIX version is actually 100$ more expensive here. So it stands between the TOP and the standard version for me.

That's strange, everywhere else the Asus Matrix is 500$ and the 7970 DCUII is 500$+.

In any case the Asus Matrix is the fastest and most overclockable 7970, it is definitely better than the DCUII TOP .

But is the DCUII TOP worth the extra 15$ campared to the standard DCUII?

No, the 15$ extra is for the factory overclock, which you can do yourself.
