Sapphire hd 7950 poll

Which one of these 2 GPU's would you pick over the other and for what reason?

See what's the cheapest, and get that one...

i believe the dual x version supports sapphires flex tech, so you can use any combination of video outs, not forcing you to use display port when using 3 monitors. Just setup that card in my brothers rig, very happy with it.

Agree. Even if there's a difference in clock rate overclocking is always an option.

They both cost the same so I don't know which one to get, the forums don't provide a clear winner aswell.

Im pretty sure the vapor x cooling is a bit better. however just go for the cheaper one

 

[djangoringo]

If it's at the same price, if i'm not mistaken, the vapor-x offers better cooling with the famous vapor chamber technology.

to what degree does being voltage locked affect overclocking, I heard alot of the vapor-x cards are voltage locked

 

[djangoringo]

From what i heard they're not locked.

From what i heard they're not locked.

thanks django

the dual x might be better though all around because no voltage lock

The vapor-x uses a non reference pcb design, the dual x uses the reference, it's unlocked, use the trixx tool, to alter the voltages.
