Hi, I recently bought a computer (in sig) and I'm happy with it, blah blah. Anyways, today I was curious so I looked into the videocard that I have. Its a 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro. Well on newegg (and every google image search I've done) it looks different than the one I have. Mine looks like this

Why does mine just have a huge plastic heatsink, and no fan/4pin power connector, and who knows what else

Well I'm just curious...its probably a simple answer(slightly different models or something) ..any help would be great, thanks.

dell gets privet labled stuff, so it will look differnt.
 
It's just a passively cooled version, probably by an unnamed company. The heatsink is aluminum, not plastic. Unless you have really bad temps, then its not a big deal.
 
B/C it was not made directly from ATI, my X1300 is directly from ATI with the metal heatsink fan cover and Ruby pic, it is red.
 
Well, Dell re-badges the hardware they get, so it might abit different to one you buy individually. I know Alienware handpick their graphics cards for overclockability and performance, that's why you pay an arm and a leg for them.
