So I just ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20frozr%207950. Do you think the XFX is better? it comes with lifetime warranty but no crysis 3

The XFX Double D ironically has a bad rep on the 7950 and 7970 for NOT dissipating heat that well. They tend to run hot.

Ah, and it is voltage locked according to the only review on newegg.

I would not doubt that.. Any extra voltage and it might melt :whiste:

less I think they are both good.
some say the XFX J model has 6 and 8 power connectors and is a 7970 board that can do more on overclocking and not voltage locked. But heck might as well get a 7970 or wait for the new 9000 cards instead of trying to do that much. Both can do 1000-1050 at stock voltage and equal a 7970.
Some will do 1100 stock voltage

Purchased this card on sunday and will be returning it. I was testing it by running some dc projects on it and I started seeing artifacts. At 84f ambient with 92% load I was seeing 79c on the card. The card I received had 8 and 6 pin power connectors.
