Club3D Radeon HD 7970 Graphics Card Pictured
Although AMD's Radeon add-in board partners (AIBs) are still "under oath" (read: NDA) not to disclose their products before the 9th of January, Club3D's Radeon HD 7970 press-shots still made it to the web. Pictured below are the Club3D Radeon HD 7970 graphics card and its box-art. The box art is typical Club3D, nothing exceptionally new there. The card, too, sticks to AMD's reference board design, till the point where it uses a red-colored PCB instead of a black one (found on AMD's HD 7970 press samples).
Based on the 28 nm "Tahiti" silicon, Radeon HD 7970 is the first DirectX 11.1 compliant graphics card, it packs 2048 GCN cores, and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 384-bit wide memory interface. The core is clocked at 925 MHz, and the memory at 1375 MHz (5.50 GHz). It is expected that this card will stick to the price AMD disclosed, around US $550.

it has been proven everytime since they are in use, that they are too loud.
custom designs are almost always done with axial coolers and they are mostly cooler and quieter...
are radial fans that much cheaper, so the risk of getting bad reviews regarding noise is justified?
*edit*
Do you mean the small side vents on the plastic shroud that vent air in to the case on many 5xxx and 6xxx cards?
The 5870 have an air duct after the actual heat sink that channels part of the air back into the case.
But the new cooler on the 7970 is pretty much channels the air strait out of the case.
