Need help selecting GPU (7970)

[phylogrammet]

I'm building a computer that needs a GPU, as well as thinking about putting the GPU to work on mining (LTC/BTC).

I've done enough research to know that I want an unlocked card; however, I'm having a difficult time finding one.

I have a Fry's, Microcenter, BB, and TigerDirect locally.

I've looked through most amazon/newegg reviews for people stating voltages locked/unlocked ect, I was just hoping that someone had purchased one recently and would be able to point me at an unlocked 7970.

I read somewhere (do not have the source right now), that MSI and Sapphire are non-volt locked, but rather check it.

I have just purchased a few MSI 7950's which are vault unlocked, They seem to be a good choice.
