I wonder how much more it is for the manufacturer to use this cooler instead of the other one.

i have a feeling that guys are going to try to pimp out the 4770 like they tried to pimp out their Civics and Integras during the roaring 90s.

Interesting...check the link to expreview's pictures of the "media version" vs. retail. Note the extra caps on the media version.

I'm waiting for the xfx branded 1gb version. Powercolor and sapphire can go play in traffic with their shady rma practice.

With this cooler, and 1gb of memory, then Crossfire, here I come, and goodbye Nvidia.

I like a heatpiped edition, someone will problem make one soon.

I have one with the cheaper cooler, and I haven't seen it over 58C yet (idles at 40 according to CCC). I don't like how the ram is completely exposed with no heatsinks, but haven't had any problems yet. That premium cooler looks a lot like the one that was on my old x1950 pro, which was loud and did a horrible job of cooling the card.

Duorb should work well on the 4770
