Nice review and congrats. HC reviews are always the best to read.
I was waiting to see if I would relocalized my 5970 + 5870 plus waterblocks in my childs computer, and buy dual 480 plus blocks for my main computer, but after reading all those reviews out there, I'm now officailly happy I waited.
The only way to use 480 SLI will be to watercool them. On air, 480 SLI in the middle of summer will be suicide! I know some people will do it, but it doesn't makes any sense. I've seen a picture of Furmark reaching 105 celsius for a single 480 on air! Imagine 2!
I will wait for the next gen from ATI and Nvidia before changing my Tri-Crossifre set-up. Nvidia will probably lower those temps and power consumptions in the next iteration.
My only ''problem'' right now is to understand all the discrepancies and results that are all over the place in the different reviews for the 480 on the net.
Sky, how do you explain those results that are all over the maps on the different sites? There is some major differences in alot of reviews. Strange.
