My friend if you're forgetting, lots of aftermark gpu cooler like Xigmatek, Thermalright stuff.. also blow circulate air inside the case.. and they do relatively good.. I understand your point, but you gotta understand.. these 5800 series not only do they consume less power, but they also manage to be heat efficient..

But I understand your point, if you want go have a battle with Sapphire, bet you can't..

I'll let you guys know what happens, I have one sitting at my UPS Store.

Any idea when you may have that review up? I just built a new PC and this card will be the final part I need to make it complete and a 100% new PC. My current 4890 is chugging along in there right now, unaware I am going to sell him to some gypsies when his big brother arrives.
