Which 7950 do I choose?
I can't spend more than £250, but ideally it would be closer to £200.
So far I've seen:
HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-065-HS
Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 3X - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...56&subcat=1673
MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...56&subcat=1673
Sapphire 11196-09-40G HD7950 3GB Vapox-X - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...pf_rd_i=468294
XFX 7950 3GB Black DD Edition - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-x...s-hdmi-mini-dp
Thanks.

. It is the later 8+8 pin model and runs cool and quiet on the stock BIOS and runs a bit hotter on the boost BIOS due to the large voltage it uses (1.25V). Do not have any VRM cooling problems which some people reported. On the stock BIOS (~1.1V) I run it at 1050 core and stock memory wich gives me ~55 degrees on core at 40% fan. On the boost BIOS it runs steady at 1200 core and 1300 memory thanks to the voltage but my memory is awful at overclocking. I believe the lastest vapor-x's using Trixx 4.6 are voltage unlocked but mine is voltage locked on the older BIOS, no real rules as to whether yours is voltage locked or not so look at it as a bonus not a guarantee.
