If this is a Performance Graphics card
This would be HAWK
HAWK, Redefined HAWK Built on a performance segment GPU Doesn't break the bank LIGHTNING's Little brother NEW PCB design Extreme OC ready Massively Improved PWM capabilities Enhanced and tuned power delivery Using the best Thermal Design available right now
Reviewing the GTX 760 HAWK Legitreviews Ocaholic Techpowerup Overclockersclub "The MSI N760 HAWK is hands down the fastest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 video card that we have yet to test. " "So if you are looking for one of the strongest GTX 760 out there, then you can go for the HAWK eyes closed. " "MSI has engineered a fantastic GeForce GTX 760 with their GTX 760 HAWK" " the fastest card I have tested as far as overclocking is concerned " Lanoc Guru3d "the Hawk out performs all of the other GTX 760 options in cooling, synthetic benchmarks, in game benchmarks, and even overclocking." "Overall the card at default is clocked pretty impressive making it the fastest GTX 760 we have tested to date."

OC Certified OC Certified Guaranteed stable overclocking performance 24 hour burn-in test in a 45 C oven Proves enhanced design and PWM stability
APS Active Phase Switching Active Phase Switching rapidly enables or disables phases depending on the power demand This greatly increases efficiency in low-load situations and maintains stability in high-load
Twin BIOS Twin BIOS Default BIOS with out of the box overclock LN2 BIOS for extreme overclockers, removes built-in protection and limitations.
Advanced Thermal Design Dual Form-in-One heat sinks Twin Frozr IV Advanced
Twin Frozr IV Advanced Propeller Blade Technology MSI s exclusive fan design that generates 20% more airflow than traditional designs Dust Removal Technology Remove dust buildup in the heat sink upon startup to maximize cooling performance Dual PWM Fans Dual PWM controlled fans provide airflow to heat pipes and surface mounted devices like the memory. Nickel-plated Copper Base Oversized Copper Base transfers GPU heat faster to heat pipes SuperPipe Technology Thick 8mm heat pipe that increases heat transfer capabilities
Airflow Control technology Improved Twin Frozr design Deflects more airflow to the heat pipes Increased heat sink surface area Enhances dissipation efficiency
Increased Airflow 10 cm Increased Airflow Equipped with 10cm fans More airflow Lower fan speeds Lower noise
Dual Form-in-One Heat sinks Adds reinforcement to the PCB adds cooling for air overclocking Keeps temperature up for extreme overclocking The back heat sink protects crucial components from potential damage.
