ASUS HD7870-DC2-2GD5 Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

So the card is $219.00 + shipping and there is a $20 mail-in-rebate to make it $199.00 before shipping. Awesome card for the price.

This is a good deal, but stay away if you want a quiet video card.

Don't reallly get tthe noise talk. A month or so ago wheen I had everything turned off in the bedroom except the computerr while running 3 or so seperate programs I did notice the 280 fan speed kick up. Probably not the loudest its been, but I also don't normally try and use it in a noise isolation chamber either.

great deal, is there any way I can tell if this is a reference card or not? the water cooling block I'm looking @ only fits on reference cards. I'd loooove to swoop on this deal

This is their directcu line so it will not be reference. (Directcu are the asus meant to be overclocked.)

Asus doesn't really sell retail reference cards. DirectCu is basically all they offer, with TOP versions of various models and some versions with doubled VRAM.

Is this version one or version two? I read that there were problems with version one so.
