I'd pick the Cyclone as it looks less like most GFX cards.  But the Hawk might have better cooling looking at the extra pipes / fans.

Hawk is better than Cyclone.

But you shouldn't buy this GPU. Wait For GTX 560.

Or buy an 6950 and change BIOS with 6970's BIOS.

Check these sites.

Second link is Turkish language. just watch and try to understand.

couldn't find English language.

lol, didn't knew that grafic card was that cheap 200 Euros :O kinda amazed...
Who cares if the GPU is pretty or ugly :O it's not a car, when your friends come over the house, they won't look if the GPU is cute, they maybe will see if you got an powerfull pc, and thats all :O) id buy the most powerfull, on the lowest budget

Bah, who cares about all these kiddie gamer video cards?? I use an ATI X1600 from 2006. Works perfectly, does everything I need it to. If I want to play games, I turn on my PS3.
