Sapphire updates graphics card cooling

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/03...card_cooling/1

CeBIT 2008: Always keen to add variety and value to its product range, Sapphire showed bit-tech how it has updated its HD 3870 range to include single slot and passive cooling.

wouldn't mind the toxic card, but only if the pricing was right

I do like the vapor x design, and understand why a single slot design was chosen for the 3870xt, but can't help but hope a dual slot version is made that exhausts the heat out the back, allowing even greater cooling performance, and lower noise.

Is the VCT tech exclusive to sapphire, or are they just the first to licence the design?

so as far as Sapphires motherboards are concerned is it DFI that makes it for them? as you can find the exact same boards from DFI and if thats the situation whats the real difference typically between the two or is there any?

Only the 790FX. I don't know who makes the 770X.
