Sapphire makes really cheap and good 7970s the dual-x ones are 2slotish and apparently really cool and quite which I don't doubt because my apparently loud vapor-x's fans are configed to hit 100% at 69C° and get drowned out by gun fire from PS2 or SR3. The 670s lack the memory and the bus width to be good for high res with 8xMSAA

Either choice is good. I run tri 7970's and with the new 12.11 beta drivers, they rock.
