“Sapphire’s new HD 3870 Toxic is built on the same Vapor-X cooling technology that the HD 3870 Atomic uses. This means that the card comes with a single slot cooling solution making it a premier choice for Quad CrossFire systems. The accessory package also includes an HDMI cable, PowerDVD and a 3DMark license, not bad for a $40 premium.”Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

Ear poison from Sapphire
Sapphire’s HD 3870 Toxic has Vapor-X cooling technology, which translates to “I can fully cool the card in a one slot form factor, but I will deafen you and your neighbours.” 46.3dB is going to be noticeable, although it does work very well for a single slot cooler.
