I'm getting used to my new PC - which so far is sweet.
Got my ASUS VH226H set up as a dual monitor today. I was testing it to play a DVD movie in my satellite Monitor while I was surfing and doing some Spreadsheet work. The Video card was getting a little warm where I had to crank up the fan - like when I would be gaming.
I plan to add a TV tuner card in the near future too - another heat source.
I know the 4770 has a much smaller chip than the 4850 series

Lower POwer consumption / lower heat production. Do you think Nvidia and Radeon will make new GPUs with this smaller technology moving forward. I like the 9800GTX+ I got - but I wouldn't mind if I had a bit less heat exhausting from my Video card when I upgraded in a year or 2. I saw the preview for the GTS 300 - but didn't notice if it was based on a cooler running tech or not?
