Yeah I'm not a big fan of the egg cooler myself but for $250 I'm very tempted to buy it. Was going to get a GTX 460 but that's making me reconsider. And oh dang, forgot to make this a discussion...
 


I've got the xfx egg cooler it works great full load it sits at the same temp as my CPU (its like 83F in my place all the time) 63-65C 960 MHZ core
its kinda ugly but it works great

Yeah, the look doesn't bother me too much as my case doesn't have side windows so it's not like I'll be looking at it. Still not sure if I would want that or the 460 though, trying to make up my mind. Wanted an EVGA 1GB card but they're still sold out so was thinking about getting the MSI Cyclone 1GB then I saw that 5850....

Looks don't conern me, I just heard bad reviews about them, nice to know they are efficient.
 

At that price the HD5850 is the better deal imo. Another thing to consider is if your motherboard is crossfire or SLI.

Yeah, bought it already and going to see how it does for me. Sticking to a single card because my mobo is 16/4 CF so would be pretty much pointless.

Newegg has a xfx 4870 for $99 after rebate.
