Bjorn3D posted ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP Review
The ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP edition is basically a very beefed up version of the HD 7970, similar to the review we did of the GTX 680 DCII TOP. In these versions, ASUS essentially takes the GPU and builds a whole new card around it. This allows them to take advantage of the ASUS VRM engineering and performance designs to make the card just that much better. By stacking a DirectCU II cooler on top of this, they can create an amazing card. The TOP also has some extra advantages going for it, such as specially screened GPUs pushed at a high overclock to ensure you get something special right out of the box.ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP Review
The ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP came to market at around $449.99 when you could find it but these cards simply are not available from scouring online stores for available stock.
