But... It's a blower cooler just like the FE, they generally run hotter than any other cooler. I wouldn't buy one of these personally.

I personally prefer blower coolers, especially with SLI. I'm guessing this card will be priced close to $599, making it a much better buy than the FE.

The Gaming version will have the LED dragon on the top, facing the side of the case.

Armour edition doesnt have any leds and its a good looking gpu without those ugly leds.i saw that gaming edition has rgb leds while seahawk has white leds.

It would be nice if the Gaming one can be made white again. One thing I like about my 980 Gaming is the white LED dragon can be turned way down low, so it's very subtle and barely lit.
