Eyeing on it for my next build, however I can't seem to find any reviews online. Was hoping for some personal reviews on the card. Thanks!! :)

There is a review by one forumer by the name of eminus in the personal reviews and projects sub forum. Anyway, the card is oos at sls. So I dunno how you can get in 1st hand. Maybe a 2nd hand card I guess.

Ya. All thanks to ah hui, I got this beastly card and not the sapphire or powercolor variant. I still will peek thru my casing window to look at the card. The gpu reactor and back plate that says lightning is too damn awesome. Best looking card out there I will say.

Go for the lightning! Even better!

Power edition is essentially the same as lightning edition, except they don't make the cut for it to be labelled as lighting (we are talking about OC speeds).

Other than that, both cards are exactly the same.

I have undervolted my 7970 PE BE to 1.841v and still very stable at 1100/1500 (stock clock) so since the lightning is a better binned product the potential should be greater.

such a beastly GPU with a thundering speed but can easily be tamed!!!

Thanks! Sucks that the R7970 PE is EOL already, if not confirm getting that card. Might consider this new TF card though
