Great CardI've had one of these for a while now and have to say for the money I'm very impressed.
It stays nice and cool (55-60ish) whilst being quiet.
The only thing I did have with it is the buzz, however as suggested on the forum I left it running furmark for 4-5hrs, it's perfect now.
It runs most games nicely at 2560x1440 however new titles will need a second card to max them out.

Silent but ViolentAstounding card. I upgraded to this from CF 5770 and the performance is frightening. Sure this isn't a looker but my PC is a mess and I don't look inside it. This card is the quietest component I've ever heard. This card should last me for the next 5-10 years I imagine.
Excellent service from OCuK as usual. Very happy. If you want a whisper quiet 7970, this is the one. Comes with lots of adapters for multi-display too. Unfortunately no cool 7970 case sticker.

    Fantastic cardThis is my second time using Overclockers and I'm just as impressed as the first. Fantastic service. Despite ordering an hour before the AMD 3 for free promotion, OCUK were kind enough to add it to my order, and I even got some Haribo Tangfastics with it, which was a nice surprise :)

    So after having two bad ASUS GTX 570s in a row I was dubious about buying from a brand I had never heard of before.. Nevertheless I went for it and couldn't be happier. It runs all of my games flawlessly. Crysis 2, Just Cause 2 and DiRT 3 all run incredibly smooth. The cooler is also great, it's quiet and apparently does a better job than the XFX Double Dissipation cooler.

    Sure, the GTX 680 is a bit better but it is NOT £60 better.. If you're looking to upgrade your computer, get a 7970 like this one and use the money you saved to put towards a better processor, or an SSD.. you will notice it much more than 5 more FPS.

    So to sum up, this is a fantastic card, you will not be disappointed with it.8 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

    Fantastic performance, extremely poor coSo, I don;t have much choice with this brand of 7970 but to give it only 4 stars simply because of the cooler. To make things simple, the cooler from VTX3D only cools the GPU core, the RAM and power units are completely open to the air. Now this isn't to bad with a single card, and it will happily chug along at around 70c, being fairly quiet too. However, add a second card into the mix, and the top card will draw in the very hot air rising from the lower card and in BF3, SKyrim and 3DMARK11 will hit 98c and throttle back.

    To resolve this I had to clock the cards back to 900/1100 (5970 speeds) to get the temps down to just 85c. BUT!.....I have since put an EK Nickel block onto the top card (second will be done later when I begin my build) and temps have plummeted down to 38c MAX under even the highest stressing game with 1100/1300 clocks.

    So, 4/5 is a good score, if it wasn't for the VTX3D cooler it would 100% get 5/5. S.8 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

    Great Performance Annoying Inductor BuzzBought as a replacement for CF 6850's. Cannot fault the OCuK service in any way, ordered on the 17th, delivered on the 19th. Performs really well, BF3 on Ultra with 2x MSAA typically in the region of 45-50 FPS, hits 60 if you disable MSAA in most situations. Temperatures are great and the fan is very quiet.
    Why only 4 stars? The card suffers from the dreaded inductor buzz (google it, annoying to say the least). I RMA'd the card on the 23rd, and received it's replacement 4 days later, amazing service from OCuK once again.
    Unfortunately the replacement also has the exact same inductor buzz. Have tested other PSU's and put the card in a different PC and the problem remains, so it is clearly the reference card design which has this issue, and I have been unlucky, twice.
    Contemplating whether just to put up with it, or RMA it one more time and get a Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 Windforce 3X instead. It might cost a bit more than this, but has a custom PCB which may help me.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

    Amazing Cards - Cool & fastI bought a pair of these when they were on 'This Week Only' at a great price.

    I was returning to AMD after a while with an nVidia 590. What a difference - same case, same app loading, 25+ degrees cooler and whisper quiet.
    Very impressive & highly recommended.6 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes
