I love the IceQ cooler of my 6870 and 4670... this is... disappointing :/
edit:
Although black would pcb would be much better, look at this badass XFX DD 290X
? :cool:
flat shroud like cardboard, blue pcb
duh..
they dont see their competitors give nice looking cards with better features
Why can't we have an easy to remove shroud that we can spraypaint whatever theme color we want? Two birds, one stone.
