    Now that is a think of sheer beauty!!

    My 570 is a Twin Frozr 3 card and it hurt to put it in the system (Just a little), just wanted to frame it and put it up on the wall, but where would the fun in that be?! Even my wife who is not into PC hardware at all said it is amazing build quality and REALLY looks the part.

    I'm always a bit confused about what the card is meant to be doing when they put the picci on the front of the box. Heres my thoughts:

    The card is in motion; Its like they have revolutionised transport with a new hovercraft design.

    The card is stationary and acting as AC.

    Its on ice making the item good for pushing down hills in winter.

    I'm just a skeptical old git.

    I too have a Twin Frozr card (AMD 6850 though) and it's as close to silent as any I've ever had. Excellent cooler design.

    This with 4GB RAM sounds good to me! Possibly when the price comes down a bit, but mu old MSI 570 generic is so bloomin loud!

    I hate dismantling my main PC, it needs it's annual clean though so want to combine with a GPU upgrade, possible Ivy Bridge, fit USB 3.0 front panel to my FT02 lol

    If the current pricing came with 4GiB of RAM, I think it'd be quite justified, but as of right now it just feels like consumers are losing out here in price terms.

    I've got to say though, that card does look chic and classically stylish. I certainly wouldn't grumble at having one of those in my system, although I must confess that I am more looking forward to seeing what happens with the GK110-based card from Nvidia this Autumn/Winter.
