Yay, HD 4850s w/ good HSFs ... Hopefully these will be priced close to reference-based HD 4850s ...

These will probably be atleast more than $20 more expensive than the stock coolers...:sad:

4850 + cooler + overclock = cheaper to buy 4870 and overclock with stock HSF solution

As long as they can keep the pricing close to the reference models, I think it should do well. I've never been fond of GPU sinks that dump heat back into the case--these exhaust models are a better design.

Most people serious about overclocking will probably spend at least $20 on an aftermarket cooler, so it's moot, IMO.
