Gigabyte and MSI versions are available so just 3 Distributors have these in stock atm. Trust me i did my research last week and im loving my 7970.

BTW Joker i got the Gigabyte version instead. I can play BF3 on ultra and record on fraps and it sticks on 50-60 fps. Lowest it dropped while recording on that quality setting was 42 when it was on caspian border 64 player and all hell broke lose at B.

Idle temps are impressive and the full load temps are even more impressive all be it im running 2 screens so it is a bit higher than with the single screen.
