He's not wanting to go with water cooling and he didn't like the noise the stock cooler made. So I was thinking of maybe the Xfx DD. I haven't really followed up on those and was wondering how those were working out for those who have them. Is there any major issues with them at all, or is everything good. It also comes with BF3 and that's another reason he wants it.
Thanks
Hambone

Anyone else getting constant FPS drops in Crysis 2?

I have vsync on and it is butter smooth when it's capped at 60FPS, but it fluctuates often dipping down into 55s and feels stuttery.

Same PCB, i have one and love it, fan @ 90% you can just hear a little whine lol and it keeps it below 70C when gaming. I love the card, and sapphire is great with warranty. Cant wait t'ill I install the swiftech waterblock, its just in my drawer waiting for a radiator lol

I hate to say it, but the resell value is going to suck on these 7970's 6months from now, already $100 less and thats without reselling.
