Well, that one is a DCUII model so its a non reference with much better cooling and likely better OC room due to better parts used on it. Hence the extra costs for it.

Thnks all!!

In Spain I get it for 322 € (in my home), the HD6970 2Gb standard cost more or less 300 €. I consider a plus of 22€ for this better cooling is ok.

Waiting for that, as soon as fit in my PC i´ll post the Unigine results.

Bye
