Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:06 PM

The package, unopen.

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:08 PM

Labels on the box. 1GB graphics memory.

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:17 PM

Now, the starring comes out!

It's about 27cm long, 13cm wide and weights 1.2kg.

Noticed the large fan? It's 10cm in diameter.

Soylent Joe · Sep 16, 2010, 03:19 PM

Congratulations dude, I hope you enjoy it!

ebolamonkey3 · Sep 16, 2010, 03:23 PM

Wow, nice!

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:26 PM

To take a feature for the fan.

It's really quiet and efficient. When the card was running with full load, the GPU temperature was only 43 degrees celsius.

Comparing to my 3870x2, its turbofan sounds like a jet engine.

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:34 PM

Back of the card. There are few chips here.

I think it will be more strong if there's a steel skeleton on the back. This card, especially its cooling system, is too heavy and might make the PCB bent.

Black Panther · Sep 16, 2010, 03:35 PM

Congrats!

Very nice card, you're lucky!

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:37 PM

Thank you! Also wish you good luck!

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:39 PM

The accessories: Driver disk, DVI-VGA adapter, CF Connector and manual.

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:42 PM

All members of this family ^_^

Quanlin · Sep 16, 2010, 03:49 PM

Now set it in my case.

The case of mine is firm and heavy, but a little narrow. So it looks messed.

I indeed need a new and larger case. ^__^

DanTheMan · Sep 16, 2010, 04:03 PM

Enjoy the quietness and better FPS than the 3870x2. Would have been great to see some old - new card comparisons in games. ENJOY!!
