why you dont post the clock speeds ? i would always prefere sapphire , but mostly the price is it.

depends on if you want reference or non-reference design.
the asus directcu II is the best non-reference card i've seen. perfect for desktops.

But what is the difference between them? reference design is better?

Hey epixoip, we're looking to pick up some new reference 7970s, has anything changed since that thread you posted? Any new reference models to look at, or pretty much the same options?
