XFX HD 4770 non-reference!

HD 4770! $99!

5/31/08 is estimated time of arrival...

Cooler doesn't have heatpipes.
Also the board doesn't have all the caps/phases.

This is the same card as what is out now, it just has a reference looking cooler.

What's funny is that this is what the stock cooler was originally shown to look like by AMD.

Also, it does have heatpipes on the cooler, you just can't see them on the picture of the XFX one.

Im pretty sure that was the orignal reference cooler, the manufacturers just chose to use the "spaceship" cooler instead.

Was so glad to see XFX start making ATI cards. Looks mucho better than the other "reference" coolers.

No it does not.
This is the second shipment ewiz will get in on the 31st.
People have already got the cards from the first shipment and there are NO heatpipes...

Notice the non-existant heatpipes-

and now the heatpipes showing on the ati sample card-
