Which 7870 to get?

Any of the major brands will be good but I always liked the MSI Twin Frozr models.
 
I had a powercooler ghtz it was fine but now I have xfx ghost which I must say runs better and cooler.so I say xfx ghost is good

SO I want the card with 2/3 coolers. Big brand? msi, Gigabyte, asus etc?

Oc out of the box would be nice. i don't like to toy with oc myself

and what is GHZ edition?
This is the only ghz edition 7870 I could find

really cheap. But it says 100mhz ? Other brands are 1100
Click to expand...

GHz Edition means that the core clock runs at a minimum of 1GHz. It's not that hard to overclock honestly. Most, if not all, will do 1100MHz with stock voltage. That PowerColor you linked is a reference design meaning it will have voltage control and won't blow hot air into your case.

But if you want something with better cooling, something like this might suffice.
 
So GHZ doesn't mean anything?
Every 7870 is 1000mhz....

So it's obvious I want 11000mhz out of the box. That sapphire is also only 1000mhz.

I don't want to oc or oc only a little easy wa with no risk. So factory oced card would be a heaven for me.
My fav is still gigabyte 7870. 3 fans. good cooling. 1100mhz

according to this it is almost as fast as 7950 which sound like a steal

For some reason that one slipped my mind when I was searching for it on that website. Yes, that would be another great card to get. Pre-overclocked and looks like it has adequate cooling. And it comes at a pretty good price over what other brands were charging.
 
ok. Then, done.
I will get that 7870 gigabyte 1100mhz windforce edition if I wont be getting 7950, in a week,


Please do, inform me about any problems with that speciofic model etc (if there are and defects)

edit: Ordered gigabyte version. Thanks for help :)
