Again a shit negative point
There are still people out there that frown on dual-slot coolers.

The HD4850 needed a dual slot cooler, the single slot cooler was simply not enough to keep the core, memory, and vregs cool. This card does not need a dual-slot cooler, the core runs much cooler, the memory doesn't even need cooling, and the vregs don't need cooling either.
