Adept
Here is a Sapphire 5750 that is now passively cooled using a Thermalright HR-03 Rev. A cooler. Thanks to 40nm tech it just needs airflow from the side panel of the cabinet to stay cool. It runs slightly faster than the 8800 Ultra but less power and less heat, so much less to worry about. Here are a couple of pics. Also added copper ramsinks to the card where possible.

Almost covers the whole length of the card! :rofl:

The card below is the XFX 7900GS. Lined up, the 5750 is actually a few mm shorter.

Look at that beast! It's the 8800 Ultra, which is now going into hibernation/retirement. Both cards perform pretty much on par. Maybe a 2-3 FPS lead for the 5750 in FC2.
