I be not a nvidium fan neither AMD . I simply buy what it be best at the moment . period one thing that I learn be wait enough for get the right card so that be why I do not buy the 7970 even when I already buy the 6970 . I be run starcraft 2 and battlefield 3 without any problem with low temp and insane fp -lrb- sc2 at 150fps avergage -rrb- . my main concern be that my box come on a weird state . it seem like a open box item however my card have\/runs and do everything be suppose to . besides that I do not have any con . check my picture to see how do the box look like when I open it
