Black Diamond Choke & Full Solid Cap Design
Choke is an important component of the graphics card. By working with the component engineer, Sapphire?s patent pending choke is 10% cooler and offers 25% more power efficiency than a normal choke. The graphics card will be more reliable and save energy.
Improved reliability and better overclocking are possible by using only high-polymer, aluminum capacitors which posses far superior characteristics than regular aluminum capacitor for a longer product life. When operational temperatures drop by 20°C, the product life span is extended by a factor of ten, when the operational temperature increases by 20°C, the product life span only decreases by 10%.

Product Reviews
This card is great! It's pretty much the fastest 280x out there, and has great cooling. The only downside is voltage appears to be locked, not sure if the 2nd bios unlocks it yet. I would like to undervolt to reduce heat/power, but even without the card is amazing. Love the looks, sapphire logo lights up and it has temp LEDs on the board. Cooler seems fairly quiet. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a 280x.
