Here you go ravy - http://www.guru3d.com/article/gigabyte-radeon-hd-7970-oc-windforce-review/ - sorry but the PCB is the same color on this card.
The fact that the Gigabyte board deviates substantially from the reference PCB should be abundantly clear. 6+1 instead of 4+1 phase power (which shouldn't affect waterblock compatibility) , totally revised capacitor layout between the voltage regulation and the front of the card (which will), and the deletion of a number of securing points would be the obvious giveaways.Is there a reason the PCB screen-printed number is sticker-ed over. This is mentioned as a non-reference PCB, but in order to confirm it for Watercooled blocks I need to see the PCB serial number.
Great zoom on the PCB picture but there's a product sticker covering the PCB number.

In my first post I only pointed what I'm thinking to be wrong in a test comparison otherwise relevant and informative.Instead I'm called politicianist and fanatic, I assume because I see commercialism where others don't.My point being that if you're right, it doesn't matter how many think otherwise because, well, you're right at the end of the day.So please, let wait together for Nvidia's new card to answer AMD and the rest of the world.And yes, I expected this forum to be more democratic, respect for other people's opinion and not a Miss Congeniality contest.
Inferring bias/corruption against the sites staff was out of line...Saying that a review should be titled ""Second Best from AMD Smashes Nvidia Top Of The Line " probably tipped off the forum members to your lucidity...or lack thereof.In my first post I only pointed what I'm thinking to be wrong in a test comparison otherwise relevant and informative.
It's "politicist"...and no I don't see you as a politicist...fanatic yes, politicist no.Instead I'm called politicianist and fanatic
Leaving aside your lack of Geography skills. I probably have more posts recommending AMD graphics than you have posts in their entiretyNow I can see for the first time how infinity equals zero by means of an aussie cook and Nvidia fan.
"AMD ended 2011 on a high note..."
HAH! Good one Techspot. AMD just failed with there Bulldozer processors and actually lost 177 million dollars at the end of 2011....
