I'd still settle for cooler given the price of the card, and the factory overclock. having said that I'd love to see a review of it done. also i think the EVGA backplate would rock on a card like this. kinda reminds me of the old FX5900 cards from leadtek...
just nicely encased in shroud and cooler, no need to look at the PCB really.
