Better than expected.

Pros: Temps: idle 40-44C, load ~60C. MSI has included the best cooler available on a 4850 to this date. Cant do better without going aftermarket. You can control fan speed in RT 2.11! The card you will get will have a bracket with holes in it to exhaust hot air outside of the case. Also the heatsink that is close to the power connector is twice the size of the one pictured.
Cons: 2D clocks of 625/993, the same as 3D. I was hoping they would be a bit lower like some other cards are. (to help save power).
Overall Review: Happy with my purchase and I think you will be too.
Comments: I do believe if you get a good card its worth the money. The card I got today was somewhat of a dissapointment. Only able to reach 275/640. Im sore about the GPU oc, it just wont do past 275, period.
