Here in France the HD 5770 is selling for 175 eur, GTX 460 for 250 eur, hopefully the GTX 450 comes at 150 then it's good for me
I think you are implying if I'm aware that HSF combo does more then cool the GPU? Yes, I am aware of that. So it always a good idea to make sure that not only the GPU has active cooling but the video card circuitry as well when providing comparison results. Which is why an OC actively cooled video card vs passively cooled stock video card is not a good comparison.
