Is an Powercolor non an Sapphire...
Nice review, regards.
On topic, owned the card, satisfied with it. It was either this or Sapphire, got this in the end. Was surprised at the temperature because there was only one fan and the max temperature i got was 67° at 100% GPU load. I agree with the article's writer, simply the best bang for buck graphic card out there.
The fact the Sapphire versions are smaller than the reference model is an incredibly awesome plus for me as my case is rather small. Also I'd imagine it'd stay cooler than the PowerColor version because it has two fans, and a unique heat sink set up. I'll give my results when it's in my computer and playing games ( probably in 4-6 days ).
