figures, not really any better, hopefully they'll kill prices now that the 280 has come down. I don't like how every time they make things that make LESS HEAT, they skimp on the cooling, so it makes no difference. I actually like the aesthetic changes a bit better than my current 260's, the sticker on the back of the 260's seems really..well, almost immature and cheap. Couldn't they have just not put a sticker on the back?

I think the question is, how well does it overclock?

The BFG 260's don't have a sticker on the back, they look pretty nice, actualy I think my old BFG looked better D; As for the cooler on the 55nm, mine is running cooler than my old 65nm, only a few degrees but still cooler with a higher OC, 774/1548/2300 loading at 58c folding where the 65nm would hit 60-62 at 750/1510/2100. Plus i've just moved into a new apartment which is considerably warmer than my old place.
