This is my current build. I am ordering the parts on Wednesday, but today I came across a problem while I as surfing other parts on newegg. New egg is out of Stock of the SAPPHIRE Vapr-X 7970. I was going to go with this card because I have used SAPPHIRE for a long time, I have never had one fail, and the Vaper-X looked to be a good cooling solution. But it seems that other places to order it have it for a higher price with the exception of Amazon. ( but this kept me from going that way “ Usually ships within 3 - 5 weeks.” )
So I am kind of stuck between what cards I could replace the current card. I was thinking going with the XFX Double D HD 7970 GHz Edition. I know they make good products when it comes to power supplies, and I have heard good things about their graphics cards also. Plus they do have a life time warranty. But I am just not sure. I like going with brands that I know work well, and have experence with in the past.
Does anyone have any experience with XFX cards?
Also which would you pick. Should I find it and pay more for the Vaper-X some place else / wait until it is in stock.. OR try something new like the XFX?
TLDR: XFX Double D HD 7970 to replace SAPPHIRE Vaper-X 7970
