    I appreciate that this card will likely take up two slots but why put the dual blanking plate on? The card exhausts sidewards not backwards, or is it better to minimise the loss of air pressure with the faux plate?

    I want cards that exhaust the hot air (like the old Arctic Coolers did)...

    I want a model which DOESNT need the PCI-E 6 pin extra power plug...

    A detuned 4670 (not a 4650) or a new HD4750 model?

    4670 dont have the 6pin usually anyway?
    The 4750 is china/asia only at the moment, hopefully someone will release it here

    4670 doesn't need a PCI-E 6-pin; I have two in a crunching machine right here.

    Though back to the article - 4770 for £90? You can pick up a 4850 for under that.

    4770 and 4850 are similar performance (except that 4770 is more efficient)

    Question is, 4870s are about £100 now. Now THATS tempting.

    Re: News - Sapphire ships new-and-improved Radeon HD 4770

    Is a passive 4770 feasible? Or perhaps there will be a 4750?

    I have a 4850 by XFX in my system, loathe to replace it, but it's the noisiest component since changing the CPU cooler to a Megahalems + Scythe S-Flex fan.

    Hmm....

    Why not just spen £15 or so and buy a Akasa Neo vortexx coler to replace the xfx one?? I replaced the stock cooler on my old 4850 and it was almost silent in all operations Well worth the money
    imho.

    Here's a 4770 with the *reference* cooler from XFX (that's the really sporty looking one a la 3870). That deals with the exhaust issue....

    Maybe someone will do a 4770 eco edition with slightly lower clocks that'll reduce the TDP by the 5W required to bring it back into the 75W range provided by the PCIe slot...

    Passive 4770 is doable if something like a T-Rad or HR-03 Rev A fits.
