Pretty much decided on a 6950, which I hope to unlock to a 6970.

Just wondering if anyone had any comments on the models listed above (last one is Gigabyte GV-R695D5-2GD-B)
They all look pretty good, so maybe it isn't going to make much difference. But I would like to overclock a bit if I can, and am looking for lower temps.

Thanks for any help on whittling this down for me a bit.

there's not much difference between these cards, i'd recommend Gigabyte and XFX most then Sapphire and only after it HiS *cause i just dont like the design*, i've searched some in google and all of them had same cooler so probably the temps will be same, usually Gigabyte has longest warranty..

Note: only 2GB versions flash to a 6970 ;)
