The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[Sentential]

Being in Florida you probably have central AC or at least a room AC right? If you are in a room at 90F definately invest in AC first before you buy a video card. I mean seriously..... My house is 77-78'F everywhere and my office has a dedicated AC for rare occasions in the summer time IF it gets too hot, I'm in FL too, Fort Lauderdale area actually and it gets 96'F outside but isn't in here that's for sure.

Ya we have central air but not a dedicated AC unit but still my point is valid. Since WHEN has it been acceptable that a graphics card could have a 10C* headroom before it throttles. I mean, seriously?

Maybe you should examine the headroom a 5870 has since it runs 86-90'C, you spoke of 90'F if you have a room in your house that is 90'F you should consult someone to correct that issue.

I think that we've had enough about power and heat, if you aren't aware so far it has been . What is the point on continuing to bring it up, Fermi is a much bigger chip and yep it uses more power and creates more heat.
