Hmmm or you could buy a 4830 + an Accelero for less money and have a faster card that is also silent

u can always get better option with ati (no fanboy here)

To be fair you can get ANY single GPU and put an accelero on it. Reapplying the thermal paste itself will make a huge difference in cooling.

Don't these support Physx too?

this is really cool. BFG is an awesome company. Comes with a game and lots of hookup components, great for a mid-size HTPC that doubles as a game computer.

Why no memory heatsinks? What if I plan to overclock that?

Anyone who wants to overclock their GPU wouldn't buy a passive video card solution. It's meant for those consumers who like to play game but hate noise caused by loud screaming fans.

If that picture is correct then this card has the daintiest cooling solution I've ever seen for a video card. Very cute.

Heatsink is on the back, meaning facing up if installed in a traditional case.

Yes I think all new Nvidia cards have PhysX.
