$10 more than what was said (still pretty cheap though), and the reference cooler looks quite awful.
I did find the Gigabyte card to be quite intriguing with a 3200MHz clock on the memory :lol:

However, it seems that the price of the GTS 250 was lowered in order to compete with the 4770 (After MIR): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127422
Also, the 4850's price has dropped to $10 below the 4770(After MIR): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102824
:o
OH NOEZ! lol jk

On a side note, the 4830 has dropped to 4670 prices (After MIR): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102822

Hopefully you can give us some benches with Crossfire and single card setup.

+1 Cant wait for some non-reference coolers so that I can overclock the hell out of it.

The 4850 is a better deal, its faster and cheaper.
Those coolers dont look much different than a lot of the 4850 coolers, like the saphires and gigabytes.

From what i have seen in reviews its the same performance wise give or take as the 4850 and will run on a system that has a smaller PSU. What with power saving being the watch word these days this card is well worth it.
Hold off if you are looking for a real bargain as i can see the 4830 going down due to this card.

I ordered one this morning and its gone up in price already.

Let the blatant profiteering begin

Well the one in toms review had a dual slot cooler unlike the ones newegg is listing.
I'm sure these will replace the 4830 and 4850.
Hey, I definately would have picked one of these up if I had not gotten a nice factory overclocked dual slot HD4850 a few months back for $125.

What really surprised me about Tom's test is how bottlenecked even a 4770 is when using the X2 7850 @ 2.8ghz compared to a i7 quad. Now I know why STALKER kicks my 4850's ass, my processor is holding it back.
