I like these new cards with more then one fan. They run cooler and can OC better. Plus they look a lot cooler to.

I like the reviews lately, past few weeks have seen a lot of 6xxx series cards.
Have been shopping a few, so these reviews are very, very helpful! I agree with the dual fans, the cooler the better.

Also should cost $100 out of the gate, this is card is a slap in the face by AMD. Seriously 5770 or cough up pennies more for a good 6 series (6850)Ya I agree completely. It should be this way out of the gate imo.

Well I think it's good because it exhausts more hot air faster and in more places. When it only vents it out the back it will run hotter. I would preferred a card that would just vent up on the top. My case has plenty of ventilation (and fans) so any extra hot is leaving pretty fast anyway.
