Default ECS 7950GT? or
I was just browsing around newegg and came across this one video card that also had a BIG fan (Besides gigabytes video cards.) I guess what im saying is that should i get this:

or this :

Why a 7950, you could just save yourself $80, and get a 7900, then OC it to 7950 levels. The 7900 is just an underclocked 7950.

The 7950 is a pointless release from Nvidia, just to milk the remainder of DX9 before DX10 really takes off. Stick with a 7900GT imo, the extra 256Mb texture ram on the 7950GT is not really used anyway.

ECS makes poor components. I doubt they can pull off a good quality GPU. Gigabyte>ECS.
