Nice deal on a great card with a much better cooling solution that the stock heatsink/fan. 🙂

Does anyone know how it compares to the Palit 4850? The Palit is about $10 cheaper.

Call me superficial...but that Palit card just looks ugly 😛

I think they all look ugly except the MSI one...

I'm not into LEDs and windowed cases, so I could care less if it is ugly. What matters to me is does it perform better and cooler.

QFT. Althouogh, I'd just buy the best card and then ditch the OEM cooler regardless of how good it was. I like to use aftermarket coolers and large quiet fans.

That MSI one looks like is kicks a$$ I'd rather get that one.
