I having trouble deciding which card to get.

I noticed that they have memory on the back side of the card will this effect any heat problems.
i have 2 120mm fans one intake and one exhaust. my single slot 8600gt gets up to 68c or 73c I can't remember,I'll check far cry 2 and update this.

74c is what seems to be the highest it got to.

HIS' is nice, it exhausts out of the case. imho it looks like an overkill, that card doesn't even need extra power connectors. but it sure should keep it cool

I prefer the dual slot cards because they exhaust hot air out the back of the case.

thats 'turbo' version, uses same cooler but is factory overclocked.
idle at 36C
load at 53C
after even more OC 56C

So yeah, it's cool

I have a personal preference for VisionTek because of their warranty.

My MSI idles at 27C. Not sure what load is....

Point is, they're very cool cards.
