The reason I ask is cos I will be upgrading my good old 3870 in a few weeks and Ive heard good things about the vapor-x. Also will we see a 2gb version of the 5770??
 
The 5770 stock cooler is a vapor x, but the heatsink is really too small for overclocking without having the fan turned up and making lots of noise.

I think at best, we will see coolers like either the Zalman VF950 that Gigabyte use, or the Arctic L2 pro that powercolour have placed on the 5750 PCS.

Quite possibly the coolest looking cooler ever? :p
 
Hmm Blue pcb?

Have sapphire been messing around making Non Reference stuff again? :(

EDIT - Well, thats a 5750 not 5770..
 
My asus 5770's stay cool and are near silent. Vapor x seems a bit overkill for this card especailly as you would have to void the waranty flashing to the asus bios to get the full benifit of the cooler with high overclocks. That blue pcb is very nice though.
 
Exactly, the vapor-x is overkill, as stated these cards run cool enough.

I can't help but also think the Vapor-x will be a non-reference board judging by the blue pcb, which is bad news IMO.. as my Non-Ref Sapphire 4870 512mb was a rubbish card for overclocking as they'd messed around with the board too much and removed the temp sensors for the VRM?
 
There is no pic of them yet so you cant possibly tell if its ref card and second if you have something like a UD5 with pcie closer together the cards do get warm no to metion o/c also they create less noise...but any way no one is forcing people to buy so each to their own
