+1 for Sapphire
it runs much cool. XFX one idles at 70c while my sapphire 4870 idles at 44c. Havnt seen it above 55c, while XFX one will touch 85c+ most of the time.

From what I've heard...

XFX specializes in nVidia cards while Sapphire with ATI cards.
Go figure !

but heard XFX tried to make a silent card out of HD4890 with a really silent cooler...but reviews says it is unstable at high loads even at stock speeds due to heating!!
