It's 24.99 at NCIX Canada. It's in stock too.

Ah cool.  I had only checked NCIX USA.  But with shipping from Canada the price comes to almost 40 bucks.  I think I'll wait until a USA E-tailer has them in stock.  It shows on NCIX USA that there are some coming to their LA location so I'll just hold out.  Thank you though :)

how does the backplate reduce heat? 

 

It does not really do that, maybe just a little bit. The thing why you want a backplate is for it to prevent sagging off the video cards. If you dont know what sagging is. Its the video cards PCB bending slightly so it looks like this.

Yikes.  Those things look like bananas they're so warped.
