Good catch- if I were in the market for one, I might jump on it, however-

People are mentioning that the card runs too hot and throttles, with the default fan profiles (though one quotes 66c, which doesn't make sense). But it's a problem with seemingly all AMD cards, where the stock coolers are treated like bastard children and nearly universally replaced with something else that neither vents out of the case nor properly cools all of the components on the card. Nvidia does this well, even if their current cards are fricking dust-busters. What's up with that?
