You missed that it has the largest heat sync its on the bottom of the card from one end to the fan then from the fan to the exhaust on the other side.

Thanks for this detailed unboxing. I have a question here. There alot of other versions of this card: XFX, Sapphire… and others. Are theire any differences between them? I dont know which one I should buy.

@Gam3Junkie Currently, I believe the most powerful GPU in the world atm is the Radeon HD 5970, which will set you back a cool $650-700. Someone correct me if I”m wrong.
