What happened to the passive Powercolor one? I still don't see that available in the UK!

I'm sure this is a nice card, and the cooler likely improves on the reference one, but notice to manufacturers: 5750s with passive coolers are JUST as desirable, and I wanted to buy one MONTHS ago!

Still doesn't look like it directly vents all that hot used air out the back of the case....

"the same value for money performance as the standard model, whilst working at lower operating temperatures and significantly more quietly."

It will cost the same as the standard cards then ?

Bah, where's the 5850 Vapor-X announcement?

This is my quandry. Focus the air out the back of the case, not something that just blows it around.

Praying for a 5850 vapor-x arrival within 2 weeks
