Re: HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo - where to buy
Thank you for your fast reply.
After paying more attention I read the following, "It pretty much is the recently released GHz concept, with the Tahiti XT2 GPU placed onto an overhauled PCB and that ICEQ X2 series cooler. The latest SKU is tagged H797QMGT3G is not even listed yet on their website".
I checked myself a few minutes ago and could not find the product number H797QMGT3G at HIS's web site. It looks like some waiting is due, and I am affraid the price may not be worth the extra power. It is impressive that they lowered temperature and power requirements at 1180 MHz core and memory at 6 Gbps.MB: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H, CPU: Intel 3570K @ 4.4GHz, Cooler: Noctua NH-C14 140mm x 2 SSO CPU Cooler, TIM: GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound [NOTE: I use Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Cleaner (1,2)], RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 24GB of 1866 CAS 9, SSD: Samsumg 850 Pro, Intel 335 series 240GB, HDs: WD Black 4TB, Video Card: MSI GTX 980 Ti Lightning LE, Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Z, Power Supply: Seasonic Platinum 660 watt, Case: Cooler Master 922 [with a 3rd 200mm fan in door], Windows 7 Pro, XS 1500 Back-Up UPS by APCComment

Re: HIS Radeon HD 7970 X Turbo - where to buy
You're welcome.
I look closely at a video card's cooling performance and lack of noise.
Many cards have similar gaming performance, but differ in how well they keep things cool and how much noise they generate.
I'm will to pay a bit more for a card that has superior cooling along with lower noise.Q9650 @ 4.10GHz [9x456MHz]
