One of the best.

Go with Zedman3d's MSI. Cooling is much better and it's a great deal!

the MSI rocks, was thinking of getting 2 of those before i got my 4870. only thing i DONT like...it has that awesome cooler, and only a single slot with no exhaust.
this palit is 140 AR:

and is dual slot with aftermarket cooling. its also a non-reference card, so it is about 1" shorter than normal.
only bad thing with them is, no crossfire bridge (BS, i know). but i bet it will stay cooler than any other in the price range.

wait, what? That cooler is major crapola compared to the MSI

yeah wth! thats has no ram sinks or nuthin!

Even though the cooler has the exhaust, it doesn't look like it forces the warm air out, it just sucks in cool air..

are you guys talking to nagasa or zedman? because i am considering zedman's choice now, more suggestions will be much appreciated though

 

[gurusan]

we were talking about the card nagasama linked to.

If I were you I'd get zedmans choice
