Hello all, I'm looking to replace my Visiontek HD 5670. I originaly bought it as a budget card when my 8800GTS died. It's performed admirably up to this point but now I have a bit more money and would like to upgrade to something more powerful. I'm set on getting the Radeon HD 6850 I just don't know which company to go with. I don't care how high the clocks are out of the box, I can overclock it myself if need be, I'm more interested in the cooling capabilities the card has.

What drew me to this card?: IceQ X design, heat is expelled out of the back side of the card (out the back of the case rather than into/around the case as most cards do)
So any input would be much appreciated. Thanks for dropping in and have a good weekend.
