Ridiculously Awesome

SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100351VXSR
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100351VXSR

Pros: It is a nice looking card (LED Sapphire is a nice touch) with with awesome overclocking. Have it running stable at 1285/1685. With fans at 60% the temps are at a rock solid 63 degrees. I could probably push it more, but why? Ridiculous card. It is actually running my games at 5760x1080 at high settings with no problems.

Cons: Can't afford two right now...

Overall Review: Three games is nice! Far Cry 3 is awesome as is Hitman, but I haven't tried out Sleeping Dogs yet. Buy this!!

Great Addition to the Rig!

MSI GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N580GTX Lightning

Pros: Stays cool. Easily overclockable (850/1750, and this was easy with MSI Afterburner) I make my friends jealous.

Cons: Can't run surround monitors without two of these bad boys. Price to performance makes a GTX570 a slightly better value (but I knew this already)

Overall Review: This is a great card. I upgraded my entire computer where I had a pitiful ATI 5570. This card spanks the performance of my previous setup. Even though this is obvious, I get absolutely jaw-dropping graphics. I max all my games at 1920x1080 (Witcher 2, Starcraft II, Battlefield 2, etc.) Previous reviews spoke of the card's length (12 inches) but I have plenty of clearance in my Corsair 600T. Get this card!!
