Fix your post, I noticed by accident that you actually quoted me :p:
Oh, I didn't know that, but I kinda blindly expect it. Are you 100% sure about this btw? =)

You seem to be right, although there has been a lot of weird price changes in this product.Quote:

I have a feeling though that this has more to do with remaining stock that the suppliers is trying to earn money on rather than following any sensible market change.

isn't this thing significantly louder than the loudest video cards ever made? how is this ownable? will anyone keep it once they hear it?
What you said really did not make any sense all video cards have fans depending on what setting you have them on I would say 40% or higher they are all loud.. I have a 5970 1 foot away from me on a tech station and in 1 day when I get my 6990 it will replace it, same fan but the hot air flow is going both ways now. I plan on water cooling it when a block comes out. The only video card fans I find to be very quiet are the MSI Twin Frozr II Thermal Design fans very very quiet up to 70% speed.Quote:

OMG my card is getting raped ;(
If my card gets 54FPS on BFBC2 on 1920X1080 with max.. no way i can run BF3 max on that resolution specially on DX11 ;(
Atleast it owned in the power consumption area.
No.Quote:

Explaining sounds pressure is a hard thing to do. Sometimes 44 DBa can be annoying and 46 pretty acceptable. That's the case with the R6990 as you are not hearing the fan whirring or anything, no it's pure airflow that you hear. So while the card obviously is noisy, it's not at a frustrating level.

Low frequency airflow hum is something I personaly can live with. It's higher pitched squealing which annoys me. So please refrain from trolling till you actualy heard or tested one and made a comparision to other "loud" cards. :yepp:

And its probably safe to say the reference board is the one you'll want for best quality, so grabbing one early on is often the best way to go with these cards. Sure there will be good custom cards as well, but the good ones also carry a price premium.
Then you must be half deaf already man :P.I have MSI Twinfrozr II ,and its "quietish" up to 40% but still clearly audible.Quote:

I bought it on the premise its going to be quiet, but moving from accelero S1 rev2 with two 120mm fans @700rpm, its loud.
Waiting for the ones with Accelero cooler. Should level off in pricing by then.
you got to also understand different scenarios. He may have a case that deals with sound a bit better, or the case is further away making it rough to hear or his house is generally louder then yours. I know i had a twin frozr gts250 and my comp sat about 2-3ft away and typically it wasn't heard during gaming. On hotter days yes but even this is in an open case with no panels on it..however usually my ceiling fan was on and it would be the noisiest thing in the room, when its off the card is a bit more audible definitely being the loudest thing in the case but no where near as loud as a stock reference design setup.Quote:

Look at the GTX590 kind of looks like the same setup... But I am sure the fan will sound silent to you..Quote:

I see a couple of guys come on here to complain about the fan? If you go back a couple of threads you will see them. I am sorry if I took it on him.. Just tired of people coming into a thread saying omg that fan looks loud.. Like I am going to change my mind on buying one..Quote:
