And the GTX470 is 20% better than a 5850 at 16x10 and 19x10 with 4xAA (as per the HWC review, and they tested with 10.3). It costs more ($50) but you get better FPS/$ but just worse FPS/watt.

So it is not a true "green" card :P
You mean, not sure what Guru3D is doing. The video at HardOCP doesn't lie: it's loud.

Legitreviews measures 90C idle and 70 dB on an open test bench. You're all in bad luck if you're buying this card and are remotely close to the equator.
