    This PowerColor uses reference design and cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131467

    But there are others, for example the Gigabyte looks to be reference PCB, but with better cooling: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125418

    Also HIS. You just need to compare the back of the PCB with the reference one.

    Also the reference design and cooler, but again as Andi64 said you need to compare de back of the PCB with the reference one.

    Thank you very much gents!

    I was never quite clear on how to spot a reference card, so thanks much for that bit of insight too!

    :cheers:

    It's going to be a little harder to find a reference HD7850. In that price range they usually change the PCB. That Powercolor is not reference. You can compare it with the reference PCB and cooler from this link:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131464

    Can you get something like this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161424

    It looks nice, and it has HD7870 reference PCB.
