thanks. I just installed it and first impression on noise is none. I was expecting to turn the pc on and get welcomed with the fan, but I never heard it.

I am shocked and quite thrilled at the fact that they included a 6ft? hdmi to mini hdmi cable instead of just an adapter. A+ on that

I am also shocked that I am idling at 74c :-( Furmark took it to an ice cold 94c @ 60% fan

To check the idle temps you need to wait for the gpu to cool down; even after entering 2D mode it's still hot and consuming more than it would after a fresh boot-up. At least that happens with my GTX 480.

I installed the card, hit the desktop, installed drivers then rebooted. when I cam back I looked at temps. Plus its brand new out of the box so maybe the TIM needs to cure and then I might see temps lower.. but right now it's about 75c and i have a window airconditioner blowing towards my PC with the case top off.

I just opened BC2 and I laughed. Laughs of disappointment! LOL

I know the ATI cards bench a bit better on BC2 from the reviews I read but for a $360 card I am not impressed with this card thus far. Especially since the 5870 I had was only $40 more than this card and this card gets 30-35 fps less on average at lower settings than the 5870.

now of course I didnt pick this card up for the bang for buck... don't get me wrong I understood this card was overpriced and is supposed to be the competitior to the 5850 not the 5870.

so far the only thing I like about this card was the fact it came with a 6ft hdmi cable!

this sucker is friggin hot! doesnt perform as I would have expected and the driver keeps crashing in badaboom as Im trying to test transcoding to compare to the 8800gtx i just removed.

ahh well.. I will play with it some more, I am about to install just cause 2 so maybe that will work out better with the physx stuff and what not.

stay tuned

sorry for hearing that.... And image quality?

You know I went back to my GF9600 from the dead Ati 5850 and BC2 was slower of course, but the looks, visuals, are nicer with the Geforce (its personal and monitor related too, i know)....

that's tad low for 01 I dont know why / My 5770 used to score some 61k @ 1055 core

May be a multi-core slowdown with i7 :laugh:

Uhm, thats an overstatement IMHO, why would nvidia design such an awesome HDT heatsink and use a crappy and bad installed tim

well.. all bullshit aside. throw temps and power consumption out the window. this card is for eye candy without a doubt. ive been messing around with BC2 and im really impressed on the pure quality of graphics this card can produce and while keeping better than playable FPS.

2 of these in SLI with metro 2033 cranked to its max... too spooky for me

from what i have seen it drops load temps by 10c

I personally did this with my GTX 470. I used OCZ Freeze Thermal Compound.
It was super easy to replace the TIM on this card. Man the compound that came with my GTX470 was everywhere hehe and yeah I did look like crappy TIM too.

My temps didnt go down with 10c but it did go down with a full 6-8c. I am def. happy with the results.

I should also mention, now that I own the GTX470 for 2-3 weeks. Man this thing can overclock like crazy and run perfectly stable.

I own the EVGA GTX 470 SC card. Which comes with default stock of Voltage:975mW Shader Clock:1250MHz and Memory Clock:1801
Well I overclocked it to:
Voltage: 1025mW
Shader Clock: 1600
Memory Clock:1815
Running on stock air.

how do you get the idle clocks so low?

open GPUz at desktop, allow card to idle maybe 30 seconds.

I cant remember where at the moment, but there is also a windows setting that will override the bios and make the card run full speed.

windows CP Power options high performance. make sure link state power managment is off or on "high performance"

you can also force them in like evga precision by moving it 1mhz and hitting apply.

In EVGA Precision you can set separate 2D/3D clock speeds and fan speeds. This feature was hidden in older versions (and not available in even older versions), but it is now standard and not hidden in the new v1.9.3.
