who would want 2gb on his card? but oh well... a 50$ premium isnt that bad at all for double mem...

one thing i really dont like about the 5000 series though.... the heatsink SUCKS!!!!!
double slot heatsink with a 1/2 slot exhaust... wth? i dont care if it works good enough or even works well... its retarded as a full slot would result in lower temps = less noise, if not at stock then at least when overclocked... i hope we will see propper 4xxx series heatsinks on partner cards soon...
2GB likely for 6 monitors? I definitely won't be pulling out $300 of the low end of the first gen DX11 cards. Seems a bit high. I hope we see some 4890 price drops muhahaha
