Best is Asus.
Asus has a good Quality Build.
I'm sure Asus one wouldn't be factory Overclocked.'

But with their Cooling technology you can easily Overclock it high.

Power Color HD 7870 PCS+ Myst Edition 2gb/256bit ddr5 with the the Tahiti (LE) GPU.

i've read to another forum that this Myst Edition was just like a "gimmick" not sure where i read that. and when i looked to this review (see below) that its not that efficient unlike the Pitcairn.

Im torn bet the Asus and the Vortex II or should i wait for the 8000 series. hmmm

Get the Asus one.

That Tahiti LE is a Gimmick, or else most of us would have one. :lol:
