my god, what an incredible looking card, not to mention the low noise and temps!

Allbeit, a "standard" non reference card is capable of reaching the same level of performance, just at a higher temp, higher noise level..with boring looks when compared to this work of art.

If I had the money, i'd buy two of these right now!...guru3d, would you like to gift me one? I'll buy the second

hehe

PS: I love guru3d and Hilbert, you're always my first choice when it comes to reviews on any hardware.

my shipping details are..lol

Thank you for this review.
This card is really amazing, especially considering noise levels. But it makes decision even harder, when someone wants to get top of the line stuff - 7970 or 680. And with so many options on both sides, it's not an easy choice.

Great card! Although i find my girl more sexy. A bit.

I must too also thank the hard work done. Seems like people don´t do this enough.

So, a bit off topic topic but...is "Hilbert Hagedoorn" a real name? It sound so strange and silly.
