Nope,AMD gives freely to their AIB to design the cooler respectively.So thats not a reference cooler and i dont think it has too..

It should be as long as gtx 280 and 4870x2, unless they managed to shorten it (it is using GDDR3, not GDDR5 like 4870x2 anyway, maybe hmm.gif ).

GTX 280 has the same length as 4870x2 and 4850x2 is probably of the same length as well. Standard casing... I doubt buyers of this card has standard casing. Go measure it first however tongue.gif .

This would be the world's 2nd fastest card(best case scenario). 3rd would be gtx 280~~ and the list goes on.

the bare 4850x2 card isn't the same card as the Sapphire's.
look at the edge of the pcie lane , 1 with pcb continues protruding out which may obstruct some caps. on the mobo.

you don't need to. you won't notice the high frame rates changed to higher frame rates.
and also your cpu bottlenecking. smile.gif

this card would cost around 399USD if I'm not wrong.

And different card lengths, as each AIB is free to design their own PCB.

Anyway, the card looks awesome, I wonder why people hate it so much just because the bottom looks like intel's stock cooler. It runs on 42C idle, which is great.

4850x2 will be faster than 4850 CF but the price is higher too...

I heard the 4850x2 price will be around RM 1400+

pretty cheap for GPU that outperform GTX 280 30% more thumbup.gif
