That looks quite snazzy for a mid range card.

Yeah even though I hate the shape of the FE cooler I have to say they've raised their game from that truly dire 670/760/960 stock black plastic cooler.

However, even that little alu part comes at a price so I would expect this to be more expensive than any of the other 60 series we've seen. Predictions are for $250 for the 3gb and more for the 6gb. With the 3gb card being pointless and a way for Nvidia to get more money for the 6gb.

Par for the course really 'gov. Especially on 60 series and hell, even 70 series for a while.

The cooler still looks like a lump of moulded plastic but at least it has some silver on it and that little alu disc on the fan giving it a more premium look.

I like it much better than the shocking stock 960 that came in my Alienware !

I wonder if they 'll charge a premium for founders, given that rx480 is out with a great price.
