no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.
Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.
AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.
Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
