The graphics card space is not a fun place to operate in. The two competing GPU makers take a huge cut of each card sold while the manufacturer has to make do with dwindling margins. So each graphics card vendor will find new ways of trying to squeeze a bit of extra cash out of their customers by coming up with something a bit different. The passively-cooled Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 SiIent Cell is a prime example. The standard, stock-clocked, vanilla HD 5770 now comes in around £100, but find a niche, sling a custom cooler on it and Gigabyte can ask an extra £45 for the privilege.
