You should look at all of the cards before you make a comment like this ^^. The Asus and HIS cards have 4 DP on them. rolleyes.gif

Asus, while MSI had the best cooler (and it looks cooler) it had some badly binned chips. Whats the point of an excellent PCB with great cooling when you get a weak GPU?

Heck the Matrix Platnum should be on this list

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/57894-asus-hd-7970-3gb-matrix-platinum-edition-review.html

It hits 1377MHZ on the core! while running 1328Mhz 24/7 stable. Their lighting ran 1215Mhz.

MSI R7970 Lightning. Easily one of the best for this generation.
