Sapphire 4870 1gb "Silent Efficiency"

Sapphire 4870 1gb Non Reference or Redesigned cooler

This new card has appeared on an American competitor, it's a non reference cooled 1gb 4870 which, if the cooling does the job brilliantly, will hit the sweet spot in the 4870 market. Just wondering if anybody has any info on this? as it's the first time i've seen it and details seem pretty scarce. It look's a bit like the toxic version but it's a seperate card, not the toxic itself.

it is saphire 4870 toxic edition i think it was on preorder in ocuk but it is not now. im not sure if it comes in 1 gb

It's not, i've now seen this card on a UK competitor. I don't know if it's just a redesigned 4870 1gb but it does seem to have a different code to the normal 4870 1gb from Sapphire. People have posted about it on a few forums and on the Sapphire forums because this card hasn't appeared on Sapphire's site itself yet and so nobody knows what's going on. People who have bought it have said it comes in the normal Sapphire 4870 box.

Can anybody shed some light on this card?.

OCUK have this card. I bought the sapphire 4870 1gb and it has the same cooler. I haven't tried it yet tho.

They should change the pic since it shows the stock cooler.

So it's likely to be a redesigned cooler from Sapphire then.
