I am looking for Dual fan model As the pc will be running round the clock wanted to a bit cooler gpu for longer life, I dont think reference design cards are good enough.

Is that only OC requires more cooling does the reference card is good enough for non oc but more run time say 10 -15 hours of gaming

You'll be surprised to know, HD 7970's reference card is even fine for OCing till 1.125 Ghz. Runs very cool. Best reference card till date.

You won't find any dual fan model in India as of now.

My friend is having Gene-z and Noctual D-14

Can he install the below card without any issue. Let me know what the thickness of the back plate. Does it protrude more backside. As he has a thin line of sight back side.


Also i wanted to know does this card blocks the second pci-e slot. As this board only have 1,2 run in x8 if cross fire and third is x4 . Let me know is it wise to choose this card.

I am getting it at 43k global easy buy.

Triple slot card. Second PCIe X16 slot will be blocked in Maximus 4 Gene-Z.

True as new cards are coming in and still makes more complex in the long run. We need to settle at one point. But let me know this will this reference card be suffice for 3-4 years down the line. Can i buy a gpu/cpu cooler and mood the gpu with liquid cooling which can allow me to add another card.

@ macho84

I think your prayer has been answered by gigabyte.:grin:

Forget XFX and see this:

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 Graphic card @ 36.5k

Its a non-reference 7970 with custom heat sink and sports a triple fan design.:shock:

Now you can overclock as much as you can. This deal is irresistible for potential buyers imo.

Gigabyte HD7970 with it's 3 Yrs. warranty and 3 fans is the best OCable air cooled HD7970 - don't look at any other brands if one needs to get a HD7970 ;-)
