What brand names 4870 1GB available in the market

Not true sapphire have an upgraded cooler on there standard 4870 cards now. Not sure about the others.

I have window-shopped during the weekends. Everything is encapsulated inside a red color plastic cover, almost looks exactly the same as ICON's. How do I tell that the cooler is different from others. The fan at least, is the same to other.

Thats right, my mate has just upgraded to the 1GB Sapphire and the heatsink has the fan right in the middle of the card as opposed to the far end, is a lot quieter than the standard one and seems to be a pretty good performer by all accounts.
 
Zotac & HIS do them I think. As they are based on a reference design I would be suprised if none of the ATI partners wern't in on the act.

My Sapphire is as reference as the day they were unveiled, not too fussed with mine but for people after the uprated (better) cooler, something to look out for.
