HD 4770... single or double slot?

[bupkus]

Hi again. I bought an HD4770 that was DOA so I did a replacement RMA. Since it was OOS newegg did a refund.
Now I'm thinking maybe it was lucky. Why?
I went to XFX's website and it appears 1 of 2 HD 4770 models comes with a 2 slot cooling system.
I'm thinking that the additional cooling will allow a bigger overclock should I so desire.
What's the downside of a 2-slot vid?

er..... nothing.

Could a future upgrade to CF be problematic?

The double slot XFX version has extra capacitors compared to the regular XFX 4770.

If planning to crossfire I would wait until they release the 1GB versions.

The dual slots cooler are better.

I would just stick with single GPU solutions personally.
