Would love to see some benchmarks and temperature comparisons for this rig.
I'm surprised there aren't higher default clocks for this thing. I'm sure it OC's nice though.
Hello
I'd be interested in what kind of price premium it'll run, and whether it's any quieter than the reference cooler. HH reviewed a gaming system which has a brace of 5870s, and they said that it was noisy for three minutes or so after startup. I'm concerned that this will be the case for all of the 5800 series cards.
