and the march to worse than stock and hunting model number begins again.
The Twin Frozr II still uses a reference PCB, though.
I believe the PCB design from PowerColor is just a reference clone.
The MSI one looks nice, and the Powercolor one ain't too bad either.
The stock 6850 cooler ran way hot, AMD probably didn't spend a lot of effort in it because all the models sold are custom.
Powercolor has skimped on the vrm control chip, PCS+ has a good cooler but you can't voltage OC, which sucks. :down:
MSI Twin Frozr II on the other hand seems great. :up:

I'm just anxious for the 6890s and the X2 cards to come out. That should help me decide whether to get a second 5870 or upgrade to 6000 series.
