really . unbelievable . overclock like nothing I have ever play with before . it be a choice between this and the 7970 . however , between the lifetime warranty , evga 's amazing customer support , and the continue durability of every Nvidia card I would ever use , it really be a no brainer . the 7970 may be the better card , but I would take slight speed decrease over the hassle with customer service , RMA 's , and\/or driver issue any atus card come with . do not hesitate . do it . buy it . you want it and you know it .
