Thermalright make top quality products so this should be a top performer. It is passive though so you will need decent airflow or get a fan on it for maximum performance...
Google some reviews

probably about the best passive cooler you will find I reckon, with some healthy airflow it should perform nicely

I got the one that`s not a `plus` in stock, the plates that came with it won`t fit any of my cards that are any good. (will fit an old gf4 doh!)
Difference being here are the plates to house it to u`r card.
Price of the `plus` version, with it`s different retaining plate, little metal thing, is pretty expensive in comparison. $55 USD in the same ball park as the $73.80 AUSD. Swear the older one was less than $40 USD.
Must look into designing a ghetto plate.

works pretty well here
i'm using mine with one o those sharkoon silent eagle fans (120mm 2000rpm)
it dropped my idle temps from 60C to around 50C, and load temps dropped from 77-78C to 58-59C at stock speeds and with fan around 1400rpm
