I'm starting to suffer from fluid retention from all these grains of salt.

I am not a nay sayer, but from the pictures how do you tell it is a 512Bit card with 4GB of mem? What was the part that was a tip off?

I suppose it doesn't matter since I will remove the cooler anyways, but it looks like shit.

It looks like pretty much the same cooler with a slightly different design on the shroud, It looks slightly better than the previous gen (at least it's not glossy plastic), but I expect it's every bit as loud :(.

 

I guess this might not be the final design since it does look a bit too empty especially from the side which will be visible so let's hope they do something better.

Yay some one as cynical as me :D no wonder we're friends haha.

 

But yes. I'm finding it terribly hard to be excited given that it's a ugly lump of a card with a vacuum cleaner fan attached.

 

Not even a back plate? hardly exciting really.

What happened to this cooler ?

The cleaner at AMD complained so they used the impeller from his vacuum cleaner.
