By the way, I like how the heatsink was repeatedly referred to as ahem... Well endowed. h34r:
Students living in a cramped dorm room with no AC might care...
not to talk about the noise. altough ppl shelling 500 bucks on a video card might add another 50-100 for better/less noisy cooling?
altough the oem heatsink and fan are quite something
I'm still wondering...
Would most of you consider a 470 from a 5850 an upgrade or more less lateral movement?
There are decent increase in frame rates across the board like you have shown, however, the price difference is a tad higher then 10%, and overall tdp is over 18% higher on load?
Would the 10-15% increase in performance vs 10% price and 18% load W be enough for one to justify moving from red to green?
Sky,
Fantastic work on the reviews. As always we greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into every review.
Well I pre-ordered 2 GTX 480 SC at NCIX with the a nice PP price which brings it dam near MSRP prices.
